How’s Britain and George Osborne, 10 years on from Brexit?
from Political Currency
Keir Starmer’s legacy is on the line, no matter who wins in Makerfield. A flurry of announcements from social media bans to the defence strategy have seen the PM attempt to recentre himself in the narrative as his greatest rival comes closer and closer to re-entering Westminster. This week, Ed Balls and George Osborne delve into what it means for Labour, whether Wes Streeting is still a contender, and if ‘last chance saloon’ legacy building ever works.No matter who the PM is later this year one thing is certain: the fallout of Iran. Positive or negative the worldwide economy has been affected by the war, and with Trump signing a peace deal we may start to see what the true impact will be long term. Finally, the 10th anniversary of the Brexit vote is on Tuesday and after turning down the Today Programme, Newsnight, and Channel 4, George gives us his verdict on the Brexit legacy. Is Britain poorer, weaker and less influential outside the EU, as George argues, or was Brexit ultimately inevitable, as Ed suggests? And have George’s personal relationships recovered?
