How can we keep the "Great" in Great Britain? A new book out, written by senior Cabinet office minister Penny Mourdant and her co-author Chris Lewis, looks at how Britain can emerge from the Brexit storm, and here at Chopper's Politics we're taking it as a chance to talk about Britain's place in the world. Christopher Hope is joined by Chair of the House of Commons Defence Select Committee, Tobias Ellwood, and two contributors to the book, Professor Francis Davis, Professor of Religion, Communities and Public Policy at the University of Birmingham, and fashion, music, media and cosmetics entrepreneur Dom McVey. Together they discuss whether being a "soft power superpower" is enough, why institutions should be less afraid to embrace the Union flag, and the surprising lesson we can learn from Parisian cafés.
