Bar's bite-sized Brexit help

From Liam Fox’s ‘managed no deal’ to Jeremy Corbyn’s ‘jobs-first Brexit’, it is easy to get confused amid the misinformation, dumbed-down arguments and political slogans surrounding Brexit. However, help may be at hand as the Bar Council published a bite-sized guide to Brexit last week.

The three-part YouTube mini-series features barrister and Brexit Working Group member Anneli Howard of Monckton Chambers.

Howard looks first at the options available now that Theresa May’s deal has been rejected by Parliament, and how these sit with the government’s red lines. Second, she explains why May’s deal could have been considered impressive in terms of achievement even without agreement on services.

Third, she looks at the WTO terms and why these are far from an easy fall-back.
