Some thoughts on 5 years since leaving the EU. Thread...
The obvious bits:
1. It was a mistake

You shouldn't say you won't take part. Voices like yours are important in any potential join campaign and in showing where things went wrong.
But "Would I vote for Rejoin? No. I wouldn't vote. I had my chance and fluffed it."

But if presented with one, why not set this right? (that's "right" by the way, not "perfect", or "the same")
Eg. Jacob Rees Mogg.

Our politics has literally gone nuts, which is why psychology is a more important discipline than politics these days when trying to understand what the hell is going on. /7
When the Overton window shifted, so did they.
The free marketry was never serious.
May the best man win.
