Like shameful family secrets, Britain suppresses the realities of how badly Brexit has gone

“Those voters do not want to have a conversation about Brexit,” said Joshua Simons, the director of Labour Together, a think-tank close to Labour leadership. How dare they prioritise one group of voters over all others?

Ellwood thinks that the election will bring release and hope: “I can see all parties embracing the idea of rejoining the single market… I put money on it that it happens in the next five years.” After so many years of Brexit thought compliance, will this country be in a fit state to take such big steps? I don’t think so.

    If the government wanted brexit to work, they would’ve made it work!

    In your opinion, in what way could this have been made to work, if the government had done everything right?

    I’m in the EU but not UK, and I can’t see any possible way that Brexit could have been overall better for England no matter what the government did.

      I mean they could have screwed up a little less, but it was never gonna work like they promised.
