One of several recent examples of the old art of linking stories and telling us so,this time by D Grieve! :
Seduced by money, and then isolated by Brexit, the UK has foregone its chance to lead in the response to the Ukraine crisis
The key actors in the response to this European crisis are our former EU partners every bit as much as the US. Yet our behaviour over Brexit damaged our standing, and fomented doubts that we will observe our binding engagements with them.
We are no longer alongside them at the table, and have lost a leadership role in our near abroad. We were spectators to the Minsk process of engagement with Russia, led by France and Germany. We have made it harder for ourselves to persuade the EU states to exclude Russia from the Swift payment system.
