Small business owners are scared to speak up about supporting Leave because of the toxicity of the debate, according to the newly-formed Alliance of British Entrepreneurs.  Founders Tom Bohills and Ed Harden join Christopher Hope to discuss why some companies are threatening to fire Brexit-backing employees - and whether the Prime Minister’s Chequers plan delivers for their members. Also on the podcast: Sir Bill Cash MP, chairman of the European Scrutiny Committee; Sir Mike Penning MP, the former minister who says Chequers is ‘dead as a dodo’; Martin Baxter, chief executive of Electoral Calculus; Christophe Bondy, a former negotiator on the Canada-EU trade deal; Matthew Holehouse, MLex market insight senior correspondent; and Anna Mikhailova, the Telegraph’s political correspondent on what the hell is going on in 'Brex-minster'.
