The UK’s chief negotiator, David Frost, and the EU’s Michel Barnier met at the beginning of March to begin the formal negotiation on the future relationship between the UK and the EU. Negotiations will alternate between Brussels and London over the coming months but already the UK has warned the EU it will walk away from trade talks in June unless there is a “broad outline” of a deal.

Both sides have laid out their priorities for the negotiations, so what are the key issues being discussed? And what is the likelihood of an agreement being reached if the “UK will not negotiate any arrangements in which it doesn’t have control of its own laws and political life?”

Come along and join in the discussion with Queen’s resident EU and Brexit experts, led by Prof David Phinnemore.
