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.

    I guess most people are kind of ashamed to admit that they’ve been duped by racist talking points and Russian disinformation campaigns.
