Yes, I know, another Brexit thread and this is even an old article but it popped up in my Fb this morning and gave me more information than I previously knew.
Some of you won't want to read it all so I'll give the headline and one paragraph.
After Brexit: the UK will need to renegotiate at least 759 treaties.
in practice Britain’s exit will open more than 750 separate time-pressured mini-negotiations worldwide, according to Financial Times research. And there are no obvious shortcuts: even a basic transition after 2019 requires not just EU-UK approval, but the deal-by-deal authorisation of every third country involved.
Here is the whole thing: www.ft.com/content/f1435a8e-372b-11e7-bce4-9023f8c0fd2e?fbclid=IwAR1xTGMJfgkglkSINePcGCpHKHe5gkMSPgqXtD4D9nHTWQeGy3Ij8HDTqG8
It is horrifying.
Why doesn't Starmer hold another referendum?
Sometimes it’s just the small things that press the bruise isn’t it? 😢
