WHAT NEXT FOR EU-UK RELATIONS? with Michael Dougan and Christophe Hillion
Date and time
It’s clear, Boris Johnson’s ‘oven ready’ Brexit deal isn’t working. Join us for an expert analysis from two leading lawyers in their fields
About this event
Boris Johnson boasts that his major achievement since becoming prime minister was getting ‘Brexit done’. But with hindsight, what did this mean?
And what about the Northern Ireland Protocol? If parts need ripping up why is it that recent figures show business in Northern Ireland has been doing rather better than business on the UK mainland?
And now the huge flaws in Boris Johnson’s deal are becoming more apparent, what does the future hold for both the UK and the EU?
Back after his last ‘sell-out’ talk in Stratford and perfectly timed, Michael will be doing what he does best, giving his incisive, informed and penetrating analysis of these and other questions. As usual, expect Michael’s searing ability to cut through the political spin.
Joining Michael will be Professor Christophe Hillion from the University of Oslo, Norway. As well as giving us a different perspective from across the North Sea, Christophe will be gazing into his crystal ball to give an outsider’s view of the UK’s future prospects.
After the talks there will be plenty of time for your questions.
