There was some speculation about the details.
Would love to be a fly on this wall. I'm imagining 25 retired New Yorkers staying at a Premier Inn in Lincolnshire like it's a safari. https://t.co/IS2wHUzGsQ

@helenlewis Day 6: Hartlepool. “We’ll need camouflage”, says the tour guide. “Wear these tracksuit bottoms and be sure to tuck the ends into your socks”

Disappointingly the official itinerary shows that the entire thing takes place in central London, so it’s more of a ‘liberal metropolitan elite’ Brexit tour. They probably had their reasons though..
