12/04/21 The 'Brains of Brexit' Shanker Singham, pubs re-opening, greening landfill

This weekend marked 100 days since the end of the Brexit transition period. Leaving the European Union has been a massive change for food and farming businesses. From subsidy to trade, from rules on genetic editing to rules on exports, it's all change and so far it hasn’t all been straightforward. We start the week with a man described as the ‘Brains of Brexit’, former member of the British Government’s Trade and Agriculture Commission, Shanker Singham.
Rural pubs have had a tough few years - and lockdown will have tipped some into closing for good. But today, in England at least, those that survived get a chance to revive as pubs welcome people back.
A Gloucester landfill site was one of the country's biggest waste tips until it closed two years ago, now it's set for a brand new, greener, future.
