This is how we’ve kept momentum going in the fight for a Final Say on Brexit
Whether or not the mere mention of the B-word is enough to make your stomach turn, there’s no option but to not only continue the fight to have a people’s vote, but intensify it
It’s hard to keep up the momentum when it comes to Brexit – no matter what side of the fractious debate you’re on. Those who haven’t yet become utterly jaded by the Gordian knot of the EU negotiation process may well start to feel that way soon, as we await the results of the Tory leadership race, a new prime minister and final stab at trying to achieve the seemingly impossible.
As weary as we’ve become, however, the need to ensure that the British people get a say in their future and the options that lie ahead is more urgent than ever.
If or when the current Tory leadership frontrunner, Boris Johnson, becomes prime minister, the prospect of crashing out of the EU will re-emerge as a fresh threat. If somehow a no-deal Brexit does come to pass, our economy will be hit up to 10 times harder than the rest of the continent, as the European Commission warned last week, with northern regions likely to bear the brunt of the blows.
