BREXIT NO EXIT PB – DENIS MACSHANE

"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 right-wing 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."
