The UK’s relationship with the EU is in the spotlight this year, as both sides prepare for the review of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement. And in light of an unpredictable US Administration, the reset of relations is ever more important. But the politics has always been a barrier to real policy change.

In this episode, Tom Bruffato (Director of Policy & Research at Best for Britain) and Emma Rowland (IoD Trade Policy Advisor) sit down with Ben Walker to discuss what can be realistically done to bring the UK and EU closer. The pair both draw on recent polling conducted by their organisations to propose possible solutions - from closer alignment on regulation to a Youth Mobility Scheme to a veterinary agreement.
