Gideon Rachman, the FT’s leading foreign affairs writer explores the question for Berlin , ‘Who will fill the hole in the EU budget when Britain goes’

This is an important article from Gideon Rachman and a recommended read.

This is my first political blog for over three months. I have refrained from adding my two cents to the best of the news as I’ve been travelling. Now, I’m back in Cyprus, this blog will be more active.

Of course, on Brexit, I’m biased, having always been a passionate European. So my starting point is that Brexit will be a political and economic disaster.

As always, this blog is happy to share alternative viewpoints.
