A new poll's found one in four people in Kent who voted for Brexit would now back Remain if the referendum was held again.

More than 1,300 residents across the county have been asked for their opinion 10 years on from the vote.

Back then, 59% of people in Kent chose to leave the EU, according to the survey 57% would now vote to stay.

We've been speaking to people across the county and also have the thoughts of the chief executive of the Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce, and a man leading a Rejoin campaign.

Also on today's podcast, a day after Sir Keir Starmer announced he was quitting as Prime Minister, some Labour MPs are considering whether to make a bid to replace him.

So far, the only candidate is Andy Burnham who was sworn in yesterday as MP for Makerfield following a by-election last week. We've been asking some of Kent's MPs if they think he would be the right man for the job.

Away from politics, and England fans are getting ready for the country's second group game at the World Cup - and a huge screen has been set up to show it in Margate.

Thomas Tuchel's side are taking on Ghana.

The Drill Shed is based in the historic Lido in the Cliftonville part of town and has a capacity of 750 people.

And in sport, Kent have won their latest game in the county championship.

They beat Middlesex by 49 runs on the final day of action at Canterbury.
