Welcome to The New European’s international edition! You are seeing this page because you accessed The New European from outside the UK. We know not everyone is as obsessed with British politics as we are, so we are offering a European edition of our site emphasising the articles we believe will be of the most significant interest to a non-UK audience. However, if you want to catch up on the full horror unfolding thanks to Brexit, simply click the union flag at the top of the screen and you’ll be redirected to our UK homepage.
