I live in a constituency that voted for Brexit and regularly canvass for Labour. Brexit voters aren't all the racist idiots I assumed they were 2 years ago. People have been held back in the UK for a long time and the EU referendum was an opportunity to send a message.
I think we could have negotiated for better terms, as a few other EU countries have, instead of going to these lengths. They reckon every family will be 6K a year
worse off. That I believe will rise. We as a country are bankrupt, take a good look at your parks, empty buildings laying decaying - so far from the boomer days of the 80's, isn't it? People begging to be housed, sleeping in cars, etc. And it will get worse before it gets better.
They have told us we have climbed out of austerity but I don't see any evidence of that. Everything that has been cut will not suddenly be back on the list. I fear people have stuck their heads in the sand and failed to understand the impact they Leave vote will have.
