Like everyone else, I wanted to move on from the Brexit referendum. Today is the seventh anniversary of the Brexit referendum and we are faced with overwhelming evidence of the damage Brexit has done to the UK. Seven years on, the government still has no more of a proper plan or strategy. It is time to admit that Brexit has been a major economic and political disaster for the United Kingdom. It is time to start the process of re-establishing our membership of the EU.

That is the only feasible way of starting to undo the appalling damage that Brexit has done to us. I was willing to give it a go, providing the grown-ups were negotiating with our best interests at heart – but that has not happened. As a result, every opinion poll indicates that rejoining is now the will of the majority of British people.
