Brexit, No Exit

The UK's Brexit vote in 2016 and the inconclusive general election just 12

months later have unleashed a wave of chaos and uncertainty - on the eve

of formal negotiations with the EU.

Denis MacShane - former MP and Europe minister under Tony Blair - has

a unique insider perspective on the events that led to the Brexit vote and

ultimately to Theresa May's ill-fated election gamble of June 2017.



He argues that Brexit will not mean full rupture with Europe and that

British business will overcome the rightwing forces of the Conservative

back-benches and UKIP, which have already been weakened by the latest

election. Although negotiations with the EU may prove excruciating,

Britain cannot and will not divorce itself from the continent of Europe.

Indeed, the European question will remain the defining political issue of

our time.
