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.

    Any conversations around rejoin are shot down as being treacherous to the UK. We don’t have good media in the UK so there is no real conversation about matters that the Tories do not want to push.
