We speak to Human Rights Lawyer, and CEO of the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, Kon Karapanagiotidis.

The ugly side of the Brexit vote? Gina Miller, the lead claimant in the case which saw the High Court ruling yesterday that the UK parliament should vote on leaving the EU, faces death threats and racist abuse, as well as accusations of "derailing democracy".
