Brexit: a failed project in a failing state?

Danny Dorling, Halford Mackinder Professor, School of Geography and the Environment, University of Oxford, introduces his provocative new report, Brexit: a failed project in a failing state. He argues the sorry story is a symptom of a broken society, one wrapped up in nostalgia for an imagined past and unable to address the numerous genuine problems of the 21st century. Surveying key data indicators, he reports Brexit has failed to address any of the substantive challenges of the day, it was not a ‘year zero’ for the many problems facing the United Kingdom and, in fact, reflected decades of public policy failure.

He is joined by Zoe Williams, Guardian columnist and the discussion is chaired by Luke Cooper (@lukecooper100), an Associate Professorial Research Fellow in International Relations at LSE IDEAS, LSE’s in-house foreign policy think tank and director of PeaceRep’s Ukraine programme.
