A hard affair?
Our last blog post and newsletter entitled ‘A Soft Affair’ was written soon after Prime Minister Teresa May published her governments negotiating position with the EU over Brexit. Since the publication of the so called ‘Chequers Agreement’ there has been much praise and criticism from both sides of the Brexit divide.
A great frustration for many interested parties is that our media coverage of Brexit has predominantly been delivered through the use of personality politics, concentrating on fundamental disagreements and has failed to inform the public on where the country is placed to adapt to major change or our ability to succeed. Many see the Chequers Agreement as an evolutionary approach to Brexit, one that could get through parliament while others will see it as a betrayal of Brexit with many unattractive restrictions placed upon the UK.
A rather soft affair.
