Peter Hennessy on our changing relationship with the world

Peter Hennessy suggests the country's relationship with the 53 nations of the commonwealth is likely to become more significant following the EU referendum result. The historian also theorises about a new configuration of the United Kingdom - with areas outside London and South-East England gaining more authority through devolution of power. He calls the proceeding period “an age of uncertainty”, but suggests that there are “reasons to be cheerful”.
