Daniel Franklin

Daniel Franklin is the The Intelligence participant in Keep qualms and carry on: a decade after Brexit who frames Brexit as a continuing source of British political and strategic strain. He links the United Kingdom’s repeated changes of prime minister partly to Brexit’s legacy and argues that governance became harder after the referendum.

Franklin’s closing frame is Post-Brexit Strategic Identity. He argues that Britain still has opportunities, especially in defence, but needs an honest assessment of its limits because changing leaders or rejoining the European Union would not automatically solve the deeper national-role problem.
