Ten years after the UK voted to leave the European Union, FourSight put the Vote Leave campaign's biggest promises to the man who led it: Lord Matthew Elliott, the former Chief Executive of Vote Leave and one of the architects of Brexit.

We challenge him on the £350 million NHS pledge, the reality facing small businesses like a Dover haulier and a Welsh mussel farmer hit by new trade barriers, and whether "taking back control" of immigration delivered what voters actually wanted. We also press him on the rise of Reform UK and Restore Britain, and whether Brexit's legacy is fuelling a more fractured politics today.
This is the full interview with Lord Elliott. You can watch the documentary here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vC1AAv2cZ50
