Dispatches investigates those who have got rich since the referendum, capitalising on the almost unprecedented political uncertainty around Britain's exit from the EU. Entering the world of the super-rich, the programme looks at those who have reportedly made millions by 'shorting', or betting against Britain. Reporter Antony Barnett also examines other financial winners post-referendum, from the politicians paid for speeches and advisory roles to the consultancy firms brought in to help government in this turbulent time. The reality is that most will not be able to profit on the scale of the political and business elite. Barnett also explores the other side of the story, meeting the people who don't have the means to Brexit-proof their livelihoods
