Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article argues that continued security and intelligence cooperation with the EU27 is of such importance to the UK that in any rational scenario it is inconceivable it will not continue post-Brexit. Britain will have to quit multiple security and intelligence sharing EU bodies but must hope to be readmitted in line with the prime minister’s speech of 17 January 2017. It takes issue with the line put by a small number of former security officials that the EU27 contribute nothing to our security, or the wrong statement that Europol, in particular, is not an EU institution so need not be given up, giving much weight to the statement by the Home Secretary (Mrs. May) on 25 April 2016 outlining the security gains of EU membership.
