Abstract

Since 2016, various explanations for the ‘British exit’ (‘Brexit’) from the EU have been advanced with a key feature of these being a focus on territories. One prominent notion has been that the result reflected a revolt of a ‘Left Behind Britain’ (LBB) of people and places side-lined by the economic, social and cultural changes of the last half century. However, ‘LBB’ is not the only territory whose existence has been reaffirmed, or ‘rediscovered’, in a crisis which has left the United Kingdom a divided and fractured state where the rule of law, constitutional democracy, and integrity of the current UK state territory have come under significant pressure. Informed by this context, this paper offers some reflections on the ‘lost’ and ‘found’ territories of ‘Brexit Britain’.
