If the Brexit ref was held today, Remain would win by over 8 million votes. That huge majority is created from old Leavers dying, young pro-EU people entering the electorate, and millions changing their mind. It's time for the big parties to accept this reality and aim their policies toward Rejoin.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
