'The fact of the matter is that for Brussels, Brexit is done,' one expert said
“In the EU, we are always ready to listen and negotiate in the best interest of EU and UK citizens,” she told. “But let’s be clear: Brexit was a bad idea. It made life for many, many people in the UK harder, especially with the Covid and cost-of-living crises on top.”
Other officials insist that their relationship with Britain is unlikely to change, regardless of poll movements, or of events like last week’s“That meeting is just internal UK politics. If and when something happens, we deal with the Government of the day,” said one Irish official. He was echoed by a Commission official, who said that the institution was focused on the technical talks with the UK on improving the Northern Ireland Protocol. “We don’t want to add more to this issue, and ongoing comments are not helpful,” he said.
The EU’s unfazed response is to be expected, given how Brexit faded from the EU’s agenda, according to, head of the Brussels office at the Centre for European Reform. “I’m happy this Bregret is finally happening – there is a feeling of vindication,” she says. “But the fact of the matter is that for Brussels, Brexit is done. Why would anyone in Brussels want to go back to this – even rejoice – when you don’t know what happens next with the UK government or parliament? Over here, it’s one crisis at a time – and we’re in a war at the moment.”
