I went to meet the former Labour leader Ed Miliband to talk to him about Brexit, Donald Trump and the political earthquakes around the world in 2016. He told me the government's secrecy over negotiations is a sign they don't know what kind of Brexit they want. He thinks the secretive approach to the negotiations risks dividing the UK even further at a time when the country is feeling huge discontent with the political system. Miliband also thinks his successor, Jeremy Corbyn, should focus on issues that unite remainers and leavers in an attempt to reunite the country.

We also had a chat about his time as leader and how he feels about Theresa May adopting his political language, Donald Trump's victory in the US elections and whether he holds any hope for the future.
