Ken Clarke talks of the political system being "broken". He has stayed on to fight against Brexit and for the Conservative Party. Is it a fight he can win?
HARDtalk's Sarah Montague speaks to one of the big beasts of British politics.

It's one of the reasons he couldn't quite bring himself to retire at the last election, staying on to fight against Brexit and for the Conservative Party. Is it a fight he can win?
