Brexit 10 years on: commemoration or commiseration?
Ten years have passed since a deeply divided United Kingdom voted – by an extremely narrow margin – to leave the European Union. At the time, the ‘Leave camp’ promised greater sovereignty, faster economic growth and tighter control over immigration. In this episode, our colleagues around the bloc look at whether the UK has achieved its Brexit objectives; at how Brexit has reshaped the UK’s economy, society and relations with Europe; and at the lessons the rest of Europe might draw from it.
