Brexit. What the Hell Happens Now? Ian Dunt in conversation with Celia Brayfield

Watch a stimulating and thought-provoking evening with two excellent speakers.
Ian Dunt is editor of politics.co.uk. This year he published Brexit: What the Hell Happens Now? Based on discussions with leading experts in politics, trade, Europe, academia and the law, his fascinating but accessible guide to the post-referendum world is essential reading for anyone (Leave or Remain) who wants to be better informed about the implications of last year’s referendum vote.
Celia Brayfield is an author and journalist. She teaches Creative Writing at Bath Spa University.
In this talk, Ian discusses his book, the current state of Brexit negotiations, and the options now facing us, with Celia.

17.4M people voted leave. These voices must be heard.

i can hear them now ...."gobble gobble gobble..."

😄hows that working out for you?

The other advantage is they can negotiate better deals for members of the single market as they have a consumer base of 500 million. So you have tariff free access to the 27 other members and better rates with those outside of europe. What we are saying is the UK can negotiate better deals than the Eu with our 75 million customers. Apart from the sheer logistical problem of negotiating desperate deals with each country (if we don't want wto tariffs) we also are left with 3rd world countries to deal with, who haven't got the high standards for food and goods we have become accustomed to. It makes absolutely no sense, but then it wasn't about economics for you was it

this came out in 2017 if anything it looks even worse but maybe the fact that MAY is now trying to deal with the EU she sees the danger

[@MARTINA-gc3tq]

does the book deal with Freedom of Movement

[@rapier1954]

If there is no deal and that is looming as a possibility then all bets will be off. There is no sense ignoring this reality. The British team is composed of a group of amateurs and now they are being led around by the nose by the DUP in the case of the Irish border.

I wouldn't worry about it, after all we're all in it together

[@rapier1954]

Well when all is said and done and the UK economy suffers, they will blame it on the usual scapegoat ie. the Irish. They will be to blame, it will all be their fault if something goes wrong.
