Can we finally stop talking about Brexit? With Raoul Ruparel and Amanda Tickel

Can we finally stop talking about Brexit? With Raoul Ruparel and Amanda Tickel

Author: Deloitte UK March 10, 2020 Duration: 33:54

At 23:00 on January 31, three years and four months after the EU referendum, the UK officially stopped being a member of the EU.  In that time, we've had three prime ministers and two general elections, with countless disagreements, debates and unexpected turns along the way.

Newspapers around the world kept us up to date with daily headlines. Families across the country banned the B-word from their dinner tables. Businesses scrambled to prepare for every possible eventuality. And the fate of wonky bananas sparked many a heated conversation. But is it really all over? Can we finally stop talking about it? Or are we only just getting started?

What's actually changed and what's still to come? What might our future trade deals look like and why do they matter? How much can we prepare in advance? And what happens if we don't?

These aren't easy questions to answer. But luckily for our hosts George and Ethan, we're joined by two people who just might know where to start - Amanda Tickel, our Global Brexit Lead, and Raoul Ruparel, former special adviser to the Prime Minister on Europe, and now adviser to our Global Brexit Insights team.

Tune in to find out:

  • Why pet passports could be at risk;
  • All about Raoul's experience living through the negotiations;
  • How Amanda never envisioned a career as Brexit lead;
  • Why George would like to set up a pub on a desert island.
