The fifth birthday this week no one wants to celebrate: Brexit, despite the event’s seismic significance. For the victors, it was too disastrous; for the losers, it is too painful.

If you go to the very centre, you'll find the same people who sold us a pack of lies about Brexit, sold us a pack of lies about Corbyn.

You’re right - still painful - and still a divisive topic it seems.

“It is not just the economic turbulence of the last five years which makes it hard for the “leave” camp to celebrate any “Brexit benefits”. Far worse for them is the surge in immigration…the precise opposite of what almost all Brexiteers said should and would happen after we “took back control”.

They said they wanted to take back control of our borders. What they didn't say was it was so they could let loads more folk in
