"Rather as happened with the confident predictions that the First World War would be over by Christmas, we are now stuck in a long, gloomy and vicious culture war of attrition. In those trenches, even the dimmest, most chinless, subaltern no longer talks blithely of sunny uplands to come."

Prof. Chris Grey says it how it is in his latest blog post about the uber-shambles of #Brexit

https://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2021/05/parallel-universes.html

Once again, Prof. Chris Grey nails the issue around lies, laws and #Brexit; how Brexit created Johnson, and how Johnson is deconstructing regulation and due process. The scandal unfolds... https://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2021/04/the-brexit-roots-of-scandals.html

Brexit reduced the geographic area on which UK citizens have the automatic right to live, work, study and retire reduced by over 90%.

It's a good read - why (oh why) is Labour capitulating on the issue of #Brexit?

Wow, the #IndyWales movement gets a tiny mention in this 'Federal Trust' article about 'Labour, Brexit and the Constitution' https://fedtrust.co.uk/labour-brexit-and-the-constitution-waiting-for-the-dog-to-bark/

No consequences, no responsibility and certainly no shame. As Prof Chris Grey points out (https://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2021/04/the-irresponsibility-of-brexiters.html) the Brexiters are still refusing to acknowledge their role in the chaos that #Brexit is creating in Northern Ireland, for the business community and for hundreds thousands of people here and in the EU

I'm amazed to see how many of these 'urfascism' principles could be applied to the #brexit idealogues. #UmbertoEco

Professor Chris Grey's latest blog post focuses on the apparent ratcheting-down of tension between the UK and the EU; and suggests that it's the prelude for another #Brexit convulsion to satisfy the ultras in the press and on the backbenches https://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2021/04/a-brexit-reset.html #UKPol

"No amount of grandstanding about Global Britain can conceal the squalid mess Johnson and his cronies have made back at home" https://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2021/03/the-great-brexit-bodge-job.html

Indeed. Some weekend reading from the ever-insightful Prof Chris Grey on the #Brexit megashambles

#UKPol

For those following David Frost's fantasies about the EU, and his role in screwing up our relations with the world's most important (and geographically our closest) trading body; you may want to read Prof. Chris Grey's comprehensive destruction of his latest missive https://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2021/03/fisking-frost.html

#Brexit #UKPol

A good read here about #Brexit and #Scotland. #Wales even manages a mention somewhere, but it's clear that we're still not really on the radar of most UK constitutional consideration. Watch out...! #indywales

The UK is trapped in a #Brexit loop, doomed to endlessly replay the supposed 'battles' of sovereignty while the rest of the world moves on https://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2021/02/brexit-constipation.html

Professor Chris Grey's latest blog post is depressing (the brexit ultras will never confront their own shortcomings) and comforting (people like Chris Grey will never stop pointing out the reality of what happened)

#UKPol

There are strong parallels - and differences - with #Wales, in this interesting article about the north east of England and #Brexit https://fedtrust.co.uk/the-north-east-of-england-economic-and-political-challenges-and-opportunities-post-covid-and-post-brexit/

"Welcome to ‘real #Brexit’ – because it’s the only one there is." https://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2021/02/the-brexit-weve-got.html

Professor Chris Grey describes some of the hard truths which are starting to become apparent to UK Government - though whether it will impact on the behaviour of politicians is another matter!

#UKPol

"We are the beginning of years of acrimony and instability as the #Brexit process continues to play out. As many of us feared and warned." https://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2021/02/brexit-is-coming-apart-at-seams.html

Professor Chris Grey outlines the ongoing catastrophe which is the #Conservatives relationshp with the EU

#UKPol

Post-#Brexit; the Brexiteers maintain their mendacious dogma in pursuit of (domestic) power; but globally the UK's soft power is draining away week by week

https://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/this-period-will-shape-post-brexit.html

Professor Chris Grey's latest missive from the #Brexit trenches details the slow-motion catastrophe that is unfolding within every supply chain and service industry that used to deal with EU equivalents on a frictionless basis. https://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/get-ready-for-long-brexit.html

Far from being 'teething problems, these are the structural consequences arising from the insane desire to 'free ourselves' from EU cooperation #IndyWales #UKPol

The UK's quest to be a 'global leader' requires more than "the ...meaningless rhetoric so characteristically favoured by the current PM"

Good letter from #MarkDrakeford, First Minister of #Cymru, to the most senior politicians in Europe, affirming #Wales' desire to maintain very strong relationships with the EU
