00:20There's no sense it's going to be a referendum.
00:23But I think what they will do then is to work, if you like, at the edges.

00:38that Boris Johnson negotiated as part of the oven-ready deal, it was pretty lopsided.
00:45It gave Europe everything they wanted and very little of what Britain wants.
00:50Perhaps in the fullness of time, we may eventually get another referendum when the time is right.
