Our reporters Aurore Dupuis and Clovis Casali went to the eastern English county of Lincolnshire, where the town of Boston has become a symbol of Brexit. It was the place that voted the most in favour of leaving the EU, with 75 percent of ballots cast for "Leave". But many people there have now changed their minds. Whether it's because they feel politicians lied during the campaign or mishandled the aftermath of the vote, there is a clear sense that Brexit hasn't produced the desired effects.

A divided country

Brexit has meant having to redraw the rules and relationship with the EU. It has made trade more complicated, as well as creating labour issues, with EU citizens no longer able to work in the UK visa free. Our reporters visited Allpress Farms, south of Boston, which has now replaced European workers with Kenyans thanks to new visa agreements signed by London with several non-EU countries.

A decade after the historic referendum, Revisited also takes you to London to see how divided the nation is. Brexit has triggered a surge of nationalism, with Reform UK leading in the polls. The party is headed by Nigel Farage, who was the face of the Brexit campaign. He is an increasingly popular figure in the country, but some young Britons believe he and others have jeopardised their future by voting to leave the EU.
