Note Detail

Emeritus Prof. Christopher May@ChrisMayLA6@mastodon.me.uk (2026-10-19 14:32:29)
The argument about the negative economic impact of Brexit is well known, but damage to the UK's geopolitical position has been less commented on; not least as the UK political class still think the UK is a major power (due to having some nukes & a seat on the UNSC).

Now the IPPR have concluded:
'Sovereignty without the ability to act on it is not autonomy; hedging between larger powers is, at best, a strategy for survival rather than for success'
