I'm hesitant to quote voltaire to you, execution of admiral bn. And he said it was to encourage the others. Are you that surprised that france and germany, the netherlands were going to be such hard negotiators? I don't blame you for being hard bargainedat bargainers. But i do criticise them for being short sighted. Do you see any value in re grounding those rights in the british parliament or making a shorter line of connection between voter and law)? Thank you very much.
It was always going to be a disaster. Queues of HGVs stretching miles from Dover. The Good Friday Agreement threatened by the controversial Northern Ireland Protocol and increased support for Scottish Independence. That’s the argument of the doomsayers in this debate. But others claim that while short-term damage is inevitable – there is always blowback from a jilted partner – Brexit is a long-term project, one that is tied to the fundamental principle of sovereignty. Which side is right? To debate the issue, we welcome back Conservative politician Daniel Hannan, Labour MP Stella Creasy, and are joined by Robert Tombs, the historian of France and Britain, whose most recent book is This Sovereign Isle: Britain In and Out of Europe. Plus, Dominic Grieve, former Conservative MP and former Attorney General for England and Wales. Chairing the debate is Johnny Dymond, BBC News presenter and Royal Correspondent.
