The Guardian view on a changing Brexit debate: Kemi Badenoch is trapped in denial | Editorial

British politics remains divided over Brexit a decade after the referendum, with discussions now influenced by global events like Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Prime Minister's recent call for a national dialogue on future EU relations, including the possibility of rejoining, faces resistance from the Conservative Party, particularly from Kemi Badenoch, who accuses Labour of inciting division. Critics argue that the current Tory stance lacks a realistic assessment of Brexit's impact on the UK’s economy and global standing. Public sentiment appears to favor a closer relationship with the EU, contrasting with the Conservative leadership's reluctance to engage in meaningful discussions about Britain's future ties with Europe.
