Post Brexit: Reimagining Scottish-English relations Ian Blackford in conversation with Gavin Esler
Event details
The relationship between Scotland and England is complex and multidimensional, even more so post Brexit.
Join us for a lively discussion on UK politics with Scottish MP Ian Blackford and award-winning broadcaster and writer Gavin Esler, who will focus on the relationship between Scotland and England in the recent past, and explore the potential for creating a more constructive and positive relationship going forward.
Within this context, Ian and Gavin will examine the role of parliament in a post-Brexit age of politics and address the crucial question of whether and how an independent Scotland could co-exist with the rest of the UK.
