Brexit: A Failed Project in a Failing State - Danny Dorling

Brexit has failed – and the sorry tale of how we got here shows it to be a symptom of a broken society, says Professor Danny Dorling. It is a country wrapped up in nostalgia for an imagined past and unable to address the many genuine problems of the 21st century.

Brexit has not solved any of the significant challenges the UK currently faces. However, says Professor Dorling, it was not a “year zero” for Britain’s problems. In fact, Brexit was a reflection decades of public policy failure.

Professor Dorling presented his report "Brexit: a failed project in a failing state", published by the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung and Another Europe Is Possible, at a talk given at the invitation of the LSE Conflict & Civicness Research Group at the London School of Economics and Political Science on 26 October 2023.

This is an audio-only recording of that talk (note that it is rather low quality audio).
