Abstract
There’s a great divergence happening between the UK and Europe that very few seem to be aware of but that nevertheless is already having an enormous impact on the nature of the relationship. While Britain keeps getting roiled by Brexit and its ongoing and cumulative effects, be theypolitical, economic, environmental, societal or other, Europe has spectacularly lost interest. A quick scan of media stories mentioning Brexit in Germany and France over recent months shows that they overwhelmingly deal with the debate in the UK, not with Brexit effects in Europe. On a political level, this quite brutal loss of interest was apparently confirmed in recent weeks via European Commission contacts with Labour, the presumptive next party of government. Pushing back against Keir Starmer’s idea to majorly renegotiate the Brexit deal in 2026, the attitude seems to have been, no thank you very much. You might want to but we’re not interested.
