Brexit
Evgenyi Gromov | m

With so much at stake, and so much evidence – anecdotal or otherwise – that the UK’s Brexit negotiating team is nowhere near the calibre it needs to be, this blog in the UK Financial Times is welcome reading, insofar that at least it’s constructive: a five-step guide on how it might be possible for the UK to emerge for the process with some economic value intact and possibly without the country even more divided than it is today. The key thing is time – there really is neither the legal nor political need to rush this; and admitting as much (and, especially, the UK negotiators admitting that that they haven’t gone about things the best way so far) would give the UK and EU far greater potential for an agreement that doesn’t consign millions of Brits and Europeans to years of economic disruption.
