Secret Meeting to 'Save Brexit'
Channel: The Federal Trust
Date: 2023-02-17

In this new Federal Trust video, John Stevens and Brendan Donnelly discuss the recent secret meeting of Labour and Conservative politicians with a view to "making Brexit work".  They conclude the Conservative representatives were driven to this meeting by their private realisation of Brexit’s failings; while the Labour Party is motivated exclusively by short-term electoral considerations. Meanwhile, Brexit continues to put at risk the stability of the United Kingdom.

SPEAKERS:
John Stevens is the Chairman of the Federal Trust and a former Conservative MEP.

Brendan Donnelly is the Director of the Federal Trust and a former Conservative MEP.
