The only way Brexit might have worked without an economic collapse is the Norway model of close integration with the structure of the European customs union and single market without being part of the formal E.U. institutions.

Lots of my contemporaries have had to come to terms with who they are and realise all those deeply held assumptions we had when we were teenagers and in our 20s no longer apply.

It is a vital British and European interest to demonstrate to Putin that Trump is on our side, not his.

I am an electoral reformer and an ex-Lib Dem.

A no deal Brexit would be a complete failure by the government to negotiate for Britain.

We didn't do Brexit. We didn't get money for it. We didn't do work for it. We didn't sign a contract.

Eighty per cent of the membership of the Conservative Party are very keen to make sure that Brexit happens, we'll be in a position to enthusiastically support leaving the E.U. with no deal and if we are then able to agree a position to put to the country, I think we would hit the ball out of the park.

It's time to wake up to the fact that being part of the single market is the best insurance policy we could have against a race to the bottom on wages, rights and protections that threaten British workers and that there is no 'jobs first Brexit' without it.
