Liz Truss seeks her own path back to Europe

The British prime minister can now claim to have secured an influential role, removing the risk of Brits being treated as “second-class citizens” opposed to the EU bloc, said Charles Grant, director of the Centre for European Reform think-tank.

Tory Brexiteers fear the word “community” leaves the door open for the group to evolve into a more structured organization, as happened with the forerunners to the EU. But a majority of countries prefer the term ‘community’, Grant said, because they feel it describes better the group’s aim of acting as a “family of shared values” opposed to “Russian imperialism.”
