    "A no-deal Brexit, is in reality, a Trump-deal Brexit."

    • The view from Stoke-on-Trentpublished at 16:16 British Summer Time 24 September 2019

      BBC Radio 5 Live

      Kenneth

      5 Live reporter Rowan Bridge is speaking to people in Stoke-on-Trent.

      Kenneth is from Sneyd Green. He said: "I was with Boris Johnson when he decided to prorogue Parliament because they weren't doing anything and they were holding everything else up - they were acting in a passive aggressive way by not doing something because they didn't want what the people voted for.

      "We've got to get a deal through. We've wasted enough public money on referendums, elections. People are sick of it. I just want it finalised.

      "It's not doing the country any good, it's affecting business, it's affecting people's mental state, it's affecting everything."

      Rose

      Rose is originally from Tunstall and is back in Stoke-on-Trent visiting friends and family. She said: "I think [the judges] have made a good decision. Boris doesn't belong where he is at the moment.

      "It's a bit nerve-wracking for our future and for the next generation to come.

      "Does this change anything? I don't know.

      "It might make things better but it might make things worse."

      Wes

      Wes is from Cheadle in Staffordshire - he was shopping for a last minute birthday present for his girlfriend.

      "I just think it's becoming a bit of a joke," he said.

      "They need to respect how people voted and they voted out.

      "I have lost my faith in [politics] completely. I wasn't much for politics before, but if I wanted to get into it now, it's completely put me off. I've given up on it.

      "Politicians were untrustworthy characters prior to this but it's just been unbelievable. I am sick of it now."
