The Economic Disruption of Brexit
Channel: The Federal Trust
Date: 2021-02-12

In this video, Brendan Donnelly, Director of the Federal Trust, describes the economic disruption caused by Brexit, especially in Northern Ireland. He criticises what he sees as attempts of the British government to rewrite the Northern Ireland Protocol. This attempt can only undermine trust and goodwill between the UK and EU. It may be tempting for the British government to divert attention from the economic problems of Brexit by regular disputes with the Commission. But such a “Cold War” can only be to the long-term disadvantage of the UK.
