Daniel Hannan

Lots of the prominent Brexiters claimed that.

I think it was Daniel Hannan who said absolutely nobody is talking about leaving the single market, whereas those of us who understood the issue sat here and went, no, you categorically are.

You have to.

Farage talked about a Norway option, which would not have got rid of freedom of movement of people.

I think Johnson did that.

It didn't mean leaving the single market.

I think Daniel Hannan did that.

It might mean the Norway option.

And fewer on meretricious achievement, skills, knowledge and lived experience.

But a non-party peer, Lord Hannan, disagreed.

Elected second chambers worked elsewhere in Europe and he reminded peers what their job really was.

We are here to stop the government breaking the rules or exceeding its powers.

Thank you, former political editor of The Sun, Trevor Kavanagh.

Let's cross to the independent peer and director of the Institute for Economic Affairs, Lord Daniel Hannan.

Daniel, a very good morning to you.

Good morning to you, Jeremy.

Fascinating, Daniel, we really as ever appreciate.

We'll get you on next week when the budget is on, but thank you so much indeed.

Lord Daniel Hannan, Independent Peer and Director of the Institute for Economic Affairs.

Talking about guns with others might not always feel comfortable, but it could save a life.

He does move

... during the referendum campaign, "Why can't we be like Norway?" And lots of them said, I think Daniel Hannan said, "Nobody's talking about leaving the single market." And then-

Yes

... with, with the flip, with the roll of a dice, with the, with the flip of a coin, they're, they're, they're arguing that, uh, British people's desire is clear.

Um, even, uh, within the, the various camps of the Leave campaign, there was no agreement on what Brexit would mean, what it should look like.

You had people like Dan Hannan saying, "Of course we'll stay in the single market." You had others saying, "Oh, we'll, we'll go out."

I feel we're back in 2017.

We don't, don't want to re-litigate.

... trying to calm things down, which is the absolute reverse of w- where we were a year ago.

Mary, what about the argument, again, you'll often hear this, uh, in the British media, that Russia's regime is likely to collapse so long as the West keeps bankrolling Ukraine? Um, I think of columnists like Daniel Hannan, admittedly a good friend of mine from The Daily Telegraph.

Mm-hmm.

He's one of many columnists who all too often makes this argument that Putin's regime is on the cusp of collapse.
