Brexit: Do we stand a chance?
“The EU is very self-confident now,” said Charles Grant, Director, Centre for European Reform. “The eurozone is growing fast, (Emmanuel) Macron is a powerful new figure who will revitalise the Franco-German relationship and (Donald) Trump and Brexit are creating solidarity amongst European governments. They (the EU) feel they’re not going to have to make any concessions at all. They laugh at the idea that anything could destabilise the eurozone.”...There was now a chance of a softer Brexit, Grant continued. “The good news is that Brexiting ministers like Michael Gove, Boris Johnson and David Davis are quite liberal on migration so it’s likely the restrictions we impose will be pretty soft, certainly on skilled workers. Mrs May will lose the argument on that.”
