The Bulletin with UBS - New ground or gridlock? A Brexit update: 

Depending on your point of view, the week in Westminster has been potentially pivotal and possibly frustrating. We track the story of a turbulent few days in which under-pressure prime minister Boris Johnson named his date for a potential general election but failed to convince parliamentarians to back it and (for the first time) the Commons actually endorsed an agreement detailing withdrawal from the EU, only to reject government plans for the timetable. Our panel of UBS experts and Monocle 24 regulars gives its take on the goings-on in SW1A.

The Foreign Desk - What does Brexit mean for British Overseas Territories?: 

Among the ever-increasing number of things that weren’t really considered during the run up to the Brexit vote was what would happen to Britain’s 14 overseas territories. For some it might pose some minor inconveniences but for others it could cut off vital trade and travel routes – or even lead to conflict.

The Bulletin with UBS - The UK election: 

This week we’re discussing the outcome of Thursday’s general election in the UK. Prime minister Theresa May called the snap vote at a time when her incumbent Conservative party was flying high in the polls. But after a shaky, and frankly unconvincing, campaign the electorate dealt her a sizable blow: no working majority, and now she looks set to try and rule as a minority government. In the other corner an almost renascent Labour opposition under a revitalised Jeremy Corbyn. So yet more political turbulence this week – and the promise of more ahead, especially with Brexit discussions prominent on the agenda and now a surely even less-convincing British delegation set to head for the table in Brussels.... our panel reacts to another extraordinary night in the world of politics.

The Foreign Desk - Explainer 129: The people vote again?: 

Since the UK voted to leave the European Union there have been many attempts to try to stop it from happening. The most recent comes in the form of a donation from the founder of fashion brand Superdry. Andrew Mueller asks if the People’s Vote campaign can be successful – and if it’s even what the people want.
