Description

This is an audio recording of an IfG Live Event The UK and EU have agreed to continue the Brexit negotiations in an effort to resolve outstanding issues such as fishing rights, state aid and governance. Although both sides say they want an agreement, a no-deal Brexit is still possible.Even if there is a deal, there will be significant changes to how businesses trade between the UK and EU – but this message has failed to cut through. Selling a deal back home – and the compromises it might involve – could also be politically difficult.In the week of the Prime Minister’s initial deadline for negotiations and a critical meeting of the European Council, our panel takes stock of the Brexit talks and look ahead to what we can expect before the end of the year.PanellistsTony Connelly, Europe Editor at RTE NewsDame Carolyn Fairbairn, Director-General of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI)James Forsyth, Political Editor at The SpectatorSam Lowe, Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for European ReformThe event is chaired by Georgina Wright, Senior Researcher, Institute for Government#IfGBrexit See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
