Michael Russell MSP will give an opening statement via video.
THE BREXIT talks are entering their end game. The next few weeks look crucial – ahead of the EU’s summit on June 28. And by November, the EU27 and the UK need to have finalised the divorce deal and agreed a political declaration on the shape of the future trade and security relationship, writes Dr Kirsty Hughes.
Yet the main word I encounter in discussions with senior UK officials and politicians is ‘uncertainty’. It’s uncertain what sort of future trade deal the UK government is going to ask for – the cabinet remains deeply divided on that.
