The UK’s post Brexit relationship with Europe: What do we want – and what will the EU let us have?

Why you should watch:

Wolfgang Munchau is one of the most perceptive and influential analysts of EU/UK relations - and Jonathan Isaby is one of the most articulate defenders of Brexit. How do they think negotiations with the EU are going - and what sort of a deal (if indeed there is to be a 'deal') will emerge? And, frankly, does it matter if there is to be No Deal? one of the fascinating suggestions that emerged from this discussion is that, just maybe, the best thing for both sides would be for negotiations to break down, for the UK to leave without a deal, and for talks to recommence (maybe late next year) from a position in which both sides would have something to gain from compromise. At the present time, it might be argued, both sides seem to feel a deal would require too many concessions; hence, there isn't the imperative to settle.
