About this episode
Andrew Blick and Brendan Donnelly discuss the implications of the UK's announced 'reset' of relations with the EU.
Andrew Blick and Brendan Donnelly discuss the announced "reset" of relations between the UK and EU. They conclude that, given the government's self-imposed "red lines" little more could realistically have been achieved. They doubt however whether the changes envisaged can seriously be regarded as a "reset" of EU/UK relations. SPEAKERS: Andrew Blick is the Director of the Federal Trust. He is Professor of Politics and Contemporary History at King's College London. Brendan Donnelly is the former Director of the Federal Trust and a former Conservative MEP.
