All correct Gavin. Sunday's Quiet Riot episode explored this concept as well. I think all we can do is try to keep our standards (whether environmental, climate, industrial, manufacturing etc) as closely aligned to the EU as possible going forward, until there comes a point in ten or twenty years where the EU wants us back, I would imagine initially in a customs union.

In the meantime, the UK needs to work much more closely diplomatically and in security with France and Germany, and Starmer has rightly identified that as a priority. Funnily enough, a Trump victory would probably help this, not that we want to think about that of course...

Wonderful article - very much enjoyed it. One thing that struck me during the whole Brexit thing, was how those who knew they were fighting for something that wouldn't benefit the country, but yet cynically ploughed on ahead as it was a way to grab personal power. I believe it's known as integrity, and certain politicians made it very clear they had none. And yes, some of those are now declaring that it just 'wasn't done correctly'.
