On Thursday 23 November, I’ll be joined by fellow Guardian journalists and experts for an online Guardian Live event delving into the messy legacy of Brexit.

It’s been three years since the United Kingdom left the European Union – and all UK voters are left with is a bitter taste of Bregret from constant U-turns, bureaucratic headaches, NHS staff shortages, and endless lorry queues. The 2024 general election will be the first post-Brexit election but will any of the major political parties fully acknowledge the negative impacts of our exit from the EU? Will a new government mend relations with the EU or simply continue with the current chaos?

I’ll be dissecting all of this with Heather Stewart, the Guardian’s special correspondent, Rafael Behr, fellow Guardian columnist, and Anand Menon, the director of the UK in a Changing Europe.

Tickets are available here.

I hope you can join us.
