Brexit and the Future of the United Kingdom

We don’t normally include event recordings on the Golau podcast feed (instead you can find a number of interesting speakers and public lectures on the Cardiff University podcast). However, this talk from the 2019 Wales Governance Centre Annual Lecture, delivered by Philip Rycroft (the former Permanent Secretary at the UK Government’s Department for Exiting the EU) is… well… something else. The audience in Cardiff Bay’s Pierhead found it interesting and provocative and we think you will too. In the talk Philip talks about the choppy waters ahead for the constitutional future of the UK and the challenges that will be posed for future prime ministers by the as the bonds holding together the nations of the British Union come under increasing strain.
