UK public don’t want ‘perennial fights of a permanent Brexit’ with EU – report

Report by the European Council on Foreign Relations says that more people see bloc as a key partner than the US

The public do not share the UK government's appetite for perpetual conflict with the EU and more people see the bloc as a key future partner than the US, according to a report on post-Brexit foreign policy.

The Johnson government seems to need the perennial fights of a permanent Brexit," the report, by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) thinktank, said, warning that its approach was eroding the UK's capacity to cooperate with the EU".
