Let’s be honest: Brexit isn’t working.
British exporters are struggling, our living standards are falling and the UK is now the only G7 country with a smaller economy than before the pandemic.
Unless we face up to the harm Brexit is causing we can't start to address it.

Astonishing graph frm FT
Post-war gov'ts of both colours had one thing in common: pro economic integration w/🇪🇺
Churchill, Heath, Thatcher, Major - all pushed to remove boundaries with nearest mkt & 🇬🇧 workers reaped benefits
Then Cameron, May, Johnson & #Brexit came along...
