The balance of global power is shifting fast, but Britain is stuck in the same old Brexit rut

Without a reckoning about the epic strategic error of leaving the EU, there is no serious debate about the country’s future place in the world, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

#Britain would not be able to rejoin the #EU on the special terms it enjoyed in the past, veterans of the Brexit negotiations have said.

“There is a strategic need for the #EU and the #UK to work together, but I don’t think there would be an appetite for opening up new decades of #British exceptionalism,” #GeorgRiekeles, a former adviser on the EU’s #Brexit taskforce, said. “The price of re-entry would be membership on normal terms.”

The critical demographic for #brexit has died out...

...progressing dementia and consequent fear has created more of the old, confused and hateful people that #reform now targets, under the leadership of the same arsehole that drove the original destruction

"Farage is er nog steeds, en hij blijft de meest beeldbepalende politicus van het Verenigd Koninkrijk", vertelt Rem Korteweg, Brexit-expert en auteur van het boek '<i>Take back control?'</i> bij <i>Bureau Buitenland.</i></p>

Burnham needs to be bold to win over voters and it doesn't look like he'll be doing that...
