He is senior fellow for EU affairs at Policy Exchange. He is also the author of Brexit: Options for the Border and Brexit and the Border.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][6]In 2020 Bassett published a book, Ireland and the EU Post Brexit, which was sharply critical of Ireland's former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar.[8]. Bassett noted that Varadkar 'had done everything in his power to thwart the democratic outcome in the UK [the Brexit vote in 2016]...The gamble failed and Ireland is now facing a very difficult situation...Opposing a fair deal for the UK was never in Ireland's interests. It was a huge blunder.'[9].
