The ongoing political turmoil in the UK under Boris Johnson's leadership.
Lord Heseltine, former deputy prime minister under John Major, has called for the UK to "recreate our position at the centre of Europe" after the failure of Brexit. He accused political leaders of hiding from the damage caused by leaving the EU and laid bare the failings of Brexit, from a shortage of skilled workers to damaging trade deals. Recent polls show regret among Leave voters at a record high, with just a fifth of Leave supporters saying Brexit was a success. Senior Tory MP Tobias Ellwood has also called for closer ties with Europe.
