    Why Brussels should be wary of a cancelled Brexit

    There is frenzied excitement in some quarters that the chaos in London may yet mean a cancellation of Brexit. But starry eyed Brussels should be careful what it wishes for. There is a point in some failed relationships where it is in everyone’s interests simply to let go, argues Robin Shepherd, former head of the Europe Programme at Chatham House, in this article first published in the American Interest. Please take a look, and "like" if you agree

    The rise and rise of the German inspired EU superstate

    Prime Minister May's Brexit deal is even more flawed than one might presume. It is not just about the Irish backstop issue. German inspired plans for an EU army inside a European superstate should worry everyone who fears the consequences of a half-baked Brexit

    The Euro's unhappy birthday

    The Eurozone's unhappy birthday is a reminder that poilitical projects pursued by ideological fanatics cause misery for ordinary people. But don't expect Brussels to learn from its mistake. Just expect more misery to come

    Adventures in Europe: Italy rails, as France wails

    Italy's populists are enraged at the double standards from the powers that be in Europe. France appears to get a free pass, while Italy gets a telling off over its budget deficits. Brexiting from all this may not be quite so bad, non?

    Project Fear will not give up, and knows no shame

    Desperate and anti-democratic, Project Fear thinks that if an entirely false forecast of a mild recession after the referendum vote would not make us vote Remain maybe an even more false forecast of a massive recession after we leave the EU will force us to cry out for a second ballot.

    Italy shows May how to stand up to Brussels

    It seems hard to imagine, but the biggest headache for Brussels at the moment is not the independently minded, powerful British but the normally passive Italians.

    Since 1998 our exports of goods to the EU have grown at just 0.2% a year, whereas our goods export to non EU has grown sixteen times faster at 3.3%. But Brexit isn't just about trade. It's about regaining our independence. We're going to be so much better off out, and in so many different ways
