>> well, a lot of them. >> from pharrell. >> from pharrell. >> shake it off, taylor swift. you like that one? >> i do, but not at 3:00 in the morning. maybe it's the time that i'm commuting. that's the problem. but i like something tranquil. >> depends how you're travelling, doesn't it? if you're on the. i think i imagine it'd be different if you're in the car compared to the train, compared to any other way. >> your travel point. it's a very good point. and if you've got any favourite tunes that you like listening to, i don't know what ruth dixie's favourite tune would be back in the day. well she was, she wouldn't have been having sort of music on her way to work because she's too old. she's a world war ii veteran who's just celebrated her 103rd birthday. >> oh. >> oh. >> congratulations to you, ruth dixie. she was a former women's raf sergeant, and she's been asked, what does he always do? what is the secret to long life? a daily glass of sherry. she says. >> i thought it was guinness. like. >> style so good. good on her. i love it when people are like, i remember, you know, you were saying. or, you know, a daily cigarette and a glass of sherry or. >> something like that. >> something like that. >> isn't it? it's always something that's meant to be bad for you. but congratulations to ruth dixie 103. and one of our world war ii heroes. so good on

her. >> yeah. you often see women saying that. yeah. a glass of sherry or a little tipple is the key to a long life. and no men. there's a pattern emerging there of men and have a sherry. >> beer off. man. >> beer off. man. >> that seems to be the advice. >> that seems to be the advice. >> well, there you go. >> well, there you go. >> we'll have to ask ruth. >> we'll have to ask ruth. >> it's not. it's not a bad idea. let's be honest. right. let's have a look at our top story. because it's five years ago today that we sought pastures new and left the european union under boris johnson's leadership. >> tonight we are leaving the european union. for many people, this is an astonishing moment of hope, a moment they thought would never come. >> in 2016, when we voted leave, that hope that johnson speaks of was well and truly alive. >> ladies and gentlemen. dare to dream that the dawn is breaking on an independent united kingdom. >> well, can the same be said

today? since leaving, we've had four different prime ministers, and pressure on the public have continued to grow. net migration isn't slowing down, but it's still more than the opposite of that, hasn't it? it's absolutely rocketed with news this week that our population could reach 72.5 million in just seven years. >> well, a yougov poll this week found that 55% of people now believe it was wrong for the uk to leave the eu. but is the issue brexit or is it its implementation? here's what lord david frost believes. >> the hope five years from now will elect better government that's more able to take advantage of our brexit freedoms. so i you know, in my ideal world, we will be growing, liberalised, deregulated, much more free market economy. even if that doesn't happen, i think it's very unlikely that we're going back into the eu anytime

sooi'i. 500“. >> soon. >> under labour. >> under labour. >> all right. let's talk to former conservative adviser charlie rowley, who is in the thick of it. when all this was kicking off, weren't you? what are we to make of this? because, i mean, people wanted brexit. it was a democratic vote. however, people generally seem to be disappointed in what it's delivered. >> yeah. i mean, i think it'll always be hard to tell, actually, because immediately after leaving the european union on the 31st of january 2020, we then two months later were hit by a once in a generation pandemic which wiped off all kinds, well, all global economy effectively. so those trade deals that you would have thought that you could do, the progress that you could have kicked on with post—brexit, all of that came crashing down. so i think the impetus of eventually leaving the eu was somewhat curtailed to a point where i think people now argue over, well, are we better off in or are we better off out in terms of the economy? i think we'll really never know for sure. but

the benefits are still there. you know, the opportunity to go and do your trade deals with bilateral countries without having to go through the clunky bureaucratic negotiation system of the eu is a benefit. the idea of the eu is a benefit. the idea of being able to spend money in this country, rather than giving it to the eu, is a benefit. having an australian points based system, something that bofis based system, something that boris johnson used to talk about when he was prime minister, allowing people to choose. the people that you want to come into this country is a benefit. now that's the framework and therefore brexit should be a benefit. but has it been implemented in the way in which everybody's jumped on to those, those those freedoms? have they been used to the full extent, i think is something that remains to be seen, and i don't think it was helped by the chopping and changing of prime ministers, as you say, stephen. >> well, no. and there are also many claims made in the run up to the 2016 vote, weren't there? so you had the £350 million for the nhs on the side of that bus. one of the most famous images of that campaign, and also the

promise to control our borders. so people who voted for brexit, they'll look back on those claims and say, were we lied to? we haven't got control of either of those things. >> so that's the quite, quite an irony really, because of course you want lots of people voted to leave the eu because they want to take control of their borders. they wanted to stop, effectively the small boats crisis, which has obviously grown over the last five years, the idea that actually maybe being part of the eu, where you can being pa
