2. @anandMenon1 is the Director of the @UKandEU academic think tank and also a Professor of European Politics and Foreign Affairs at @KingsCollegeLon. He's written extensively about #Brexit. You can find some of his articles in this link theguardian.com/profile/anand-…

3. @anandMenon1's last piece for @guardian argued in favour of extending the transition period with the EU.

"The pandemic makes it unlikely that a comprehensive free trade agreement between the UK and EU can be secured before the transition period ends" theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

4. @UKandEU has published pieces with similar views. This article by Roger Liddle makes the same argument.

"We now need a fresh expert assessment of the long-term impacts of Covid-19 on how Britain can best pay its way and be secure in a tougher world"
