Beyond Brexit: How can UK–EU relations be reset?

Brexit expert Jill Rutter dials in from Madrid to join Anand and Paul for an expert tour across the UK’s post-Brexit landscape.

Remember the days when Keir Starmer used to campaign for a second Brexit referendum? Since the general election we hear rather more about the Labour government wanting to reset the UK’s relations with the EU.

So have there been any substantial changes in the relationship so far? How likely is it that the government will be able to successfully negotiate on any trade barriers? What about Labour's plan for a security pact with the EU – what could this look like? And from the EU's perspective, is there even any appetite for closer relations? 

Brexit expert Jill Rutter, of both UKICE and the IfG, dials in from Madrid to join Anand and Paul for an expert tour across the UK’s post-Brexit landscape.
