THE DISINTEGRATION OF THE EU

 For decades, critics of the EU warned that the bloc would one day fall apart under the weight of its own contradictions. 

For years, British Remainers countered that our stability, like that of every country in Europe, depended on EU membership. Well, now the EU is fracturing at a rate that even the most extreme eurosceptic would hardly have dared to predict.

After a decade spent staggering through one financial crisis after another, the EU has faced yet another catastrophe – Covid – and has once again been found wanting.
