UK Eurosceptics

Commons Brexit choices narrowing

December 9, 2018 by Dr Kirsty Hughes Leave a Comment

Soft, hard, Norway plus, no deal or second referendum? However divided the parties and however unstable UK politics becomes, the UK’s politicians cannot put the choice off any longer.’ Kirsty Hughes on Tuesday’s Commons vote

The Withdrawal Agreement and devolution

November 19, 2018 by Nicola McEwen Leave a Comment

‘The continued lack of shared understanding about the status and role of the devolved governments does not bode well for the ongoing efforts to reform the UK’s system of territorial governance in preparation for life outside the EU.’

Does Europe want the UK to stay?

October 24, 2018 by Joseph Lacey Leave a Comment

‘A multi-choice ballot between May’s deal (which could amount to no-deal), or in/out of the customs union and in/out of the single market, would allow voters to make a real and somewhat nuanced choice.’

Kicking the can down the road to Norway

May 22, 2018 by Jim Gallagher Leave a Comment

‘ The story of betrayal is already being constructed. It is a dispiriting prophecy that foretells we will still be arguing about our relationship with Europe, and only that, in four years’ time’.

England: goodbye to Northern Ireland, hello to Hard Brexit?

April 5, 2018 by Jon Worth Leave a Comment

‘It’s time to think what was supposed to be unthinkable in the Brexit negotiations over the last 12 months: that England will wave goodbye to Northern Ireland as a necessary price for Hard Brexit, giving Northern Ireland a special status within the UK and towards the EU….’

Englishness and not just class lies behind Brexit

March 24, 2018 by Jan Eichhorn Leave a Comment

‘Identities are complex and it appears that Britishness, while slightly related to views on Brexit, was much less important in differentiating between groups than English identity was…’

Corbyn’s pick’n’mix approach to eating cake

March 11, 2018 by Denis MacShane 1 Comment
