Bloomberg Editors Publish Brexit 10-Year Verdict as Analysis Says No One Is Happy
1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · May 29
John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge published a Bloomberg analysis marking Brexit’s 10th anniversary, framing the central question as whether the project has failed.
10 years on, their verdict is bleak: enough evidence has accumulated to judge Brexit’s consequences, and the piece argues broad satisfaction is absent.
The analysis contrasts that conclusion with the old caution that history takes decades to settle, invoking Henry Kissinger’s 1971 exchange with Zhou Enlai about the French Revolution.
Bloomberg presents the essay as a major anniversary assessment, positioning it as a first draft of Brexit’s historical balance sheet a decade after the vote.
