Just in case you or a friend or relative need reminding of all the benefits of Brexit, then look no further than this Times Radio clip which is going wildly viral for reasons which will become obvious.
Congratulations to this man, who’s just been officially recognised by the Guinness World Records for the longest pause of all time while trying to think of some Brexit benefits.

No more questions, your honour.
Took us a while to make sure it’s not a spoof but we’re still not entirely convinced.
