We're in crisis, says Exeter's Christian leader
The Bishop of Exeter has used his Christmas message to appeal for Brexit not to lay an additional burden on the poor.
The Right Reverend Robert Atwell says Brexit's divided families and friendships have been lost.
He says any resolution of the chaos seems remote - and that the current lack of clarity is a cause of anxiety.
The Bishop also say part of him wishes he'd never heard the word Brexit.
