David Allen Green

What caused Brexit?  Why is it such a mess?  What could and could not happen? In what is the ultimate “Brexit Explainer”, David Allen Green sets out the mess of Brexit as a tragi-comedy, detailing the complexities and absurdities of the current predicament in an accessible and amusing manner.

A London-based, Brummie-accented lawyer and writer, David has a particular interest and skill in explaining complicated legal and policy issues to lay audiences. He speaks in the same way as he writes, and he is an accomplished and engaging public speaker.

His Twitter account is one of the most widely followed of any contemporary commentator on political and policy matters. He also appears on the FT, Sky News and Remainiacs podcasts. David is active currently examining the civil liberties implications of emergency Coronavirus legislation.

David is a contributing editor of the Financial Times and a columnist at Prospect magazine as well as a practising solicitor. Brexit (What Everyone Needs To Know) is due to be published in paperback in April 2021 by Oxford University Press.
