What does Sir Ivan Rogers' resignation mean for Brexit?
Jonathan Powell and Iain Duncan Smith discuss the fallout.
Britain's outgoing ambassador to the EU, Sir Ivan Rogers, has strongly criticised the government's preparations for Brexit.
In a resignation letter obtained by the 91热爆, he urged his colleagues to continue to challenge what he called "muddled thinking" and "ill-founded arguments".
It means Theresa May will need to replace a seasoned and experienced diplomat with someone equally intelligent, familiar with the workings of the EU and capable of getting the "best possible deal" the government keeps promising, but who doesn't have any views.
Jonathan Powell, chief of staff to Tony Blair from 1997 to 2007 and Iain Duncan Smith, former Conservative leader and prominent eurosceptic discuss the fallout.
