Who are the winners and losers of Brexit? Former United Kingdom correspondent Tim de Wit returns to reflect on his own role as a journalist and to investigate what became of the Brexit promises. Has migration decreased? Has healthcare improved?
Exactly five years after leaving the EU, what has become of the most important Brexit promise: drastic restrictions on immigration? Tim de Wit returns to the apartment where his correspondentship in the UK began and looks back on his nerves and stress at that time. He meets the country's most notorious tabloid journalist, who still hunts for migrants with his camera. And he sees how his date from the time, also an immigrant, has now built a successful company.
One of the most important Brexit promises was more money for healthcare. How do things stand now? Tim de Wit talks about the struggle with his chronic illness in a country where more than seven million people are on the waiting list. He meets Nigerians looking for a new life as a doctor or nurse in the UK. And he sees his ex-girlfriend who now works as a doctor in a private clinic.
How are things going in the UK's deprived areas? Tim de Wit goes to the place that received the most EU subsidies and ends up in the beauty salon of a young entrepreneur. At his favorite football club Millwall he discovers that poverty already started around the corner from his own apartment. And he finally meets the man he never got to speak to during his correspondentship, Boris Johnson. The man without whom there would have been no Brexit.
