The new Brexit consensus.
New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog.
It's agreed Brexit is a problem: only 9% think it's a success. So what's the solution? There are glimmers of agreement on that, too, in terms of closer ties with the EU. Certainly there's little support for the Brexit Ultras' solution. Meanwhile, 'anti-Brexiters' have much to celebrate. A long read, but this will be the last post until September:

Pain, exile and progress. Latest post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog.
This week's post is a review of Rafael Behr's new book 'Politics: A Survivor's Guide. How to stay engaged without getting enraged', within which Brexit has a central role.
It's a beautifully written and incisive book, combining personal stories with political analysis, to make what for me was a highly relatable as well as informative account of recent politics: https://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2023/05/pain-exile-and-progress.html
Raab, Brexit and the Civil Service.
New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog.
In blaming his downfall on "anti-Brexit" civil servants, Raab's resignation is part of the wider story of Brexit and the Civil Service but also illuminates current post-Brexit politics.
It does so partly as an example of Brexit feeding wider 'culture war' politics and partly as part of the ongoing attempt by Brexiters to explain their failure: https://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2023/04/raab-brexit-and-civil-service.html
Chris Grey's Brexit and Beyond blog for this week is up. Dealing with Raab and the civil service.
As always very good, and, as alway, it will infuriate you while informing you.

A rather wry take in Chris Grey's @ChrisGrey weekly Brexit blog. This excerpt would be amusing if it weren't the ludicrous truth of broken Brexit Britain.
https://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2023/04/raab-brexit-and-civil-service.html
"[snip] it became even clearer that Brexiters and the wider populist Right consider not just civil servants, the judiciary, universities, the Bank of England, the OBR, and the BBC to be part of an ‘anti-Brexit Establishment’ but also the IMF, OECD and even currency and bond market traders."
"There isn’t going to be any Brexit revolution delivered by some visionary leader, there’s just a deeply unpopular mess to be dealt with, and doing so will require facts not faith."
@ChrisGrey has your Friday covered.
