"How can we make Brexit work better with our neighbors in Europe?" That is the question that took place in a private meeting and secreted the leaders of the main British political parties and revealed it exclusively in 'The Observer'. The meeting, which was held for two days by the leaders who supported both the United Kingdom's departure from the European Union and its membership, took place on Thursday and Friday of last week in Ditchley Park, Oxfordshire.
The summit began with a declaration, as revealed by this medium, in which it was recognized that "there is an opinion, at least among some" that "until now the United Kingdom has not yet found its way out of the EU" with Brexit " acting as a drag on our growth and inhibiting the UK's potential." A source who participated in the meeting said it was a »constructive meeting« that addressed the problems and opportunities of Brexit, but focused largely on the problems of the British economy in a context of global instability, high cost of living and rising energy prices.
"Great Britain is losing, Brexit is not working, our economy is in a weak position," said the source, who assured that the meeting was falling apart soberly on this premise. The idea will be discussed "like its problems that we now have to face, and how we can be in the best position to have a conversation with the EU about changes in trade and cooperation" between London and Brussels.
In addition to the numbers of Conservative and opposition heavyweights, such as Michael Gove, former Tory leader Michael Howard, and Labor Gisela Stuart, one of the main figures in the exit campaign, non-political assistants left, among those found by John Symonds, president of the pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline; Oliver Robbins, managing director of Goldman Sachs and former chief Brexit negotiator for the government between 2017 and 2019; and Angus Lapsley, NATO Assistant Secretary General for Defense Policy and Planning.
