Today, the 27 nations that will remain in the European Union are meeting in Brussels without Britain's Prime Minister, to determine a way forward without him.

Leaders of the Leave movement are under fire for backtracking on promises to take the money that Britain pays to the E.U. and use it to fund the British health system. They also want to stall departure from the E.U., an idea that E.U. leaders reject.

Syed Kamall, a British member of the European Parliament, tells Here & Now's Robin Young he has no regrets about supporting "Leave."
