“Brexit won’t be easy, but it can be made to work for everyone. The first step in making Brexit a success is accepting it, and discussing the topic in a grown up and constructive manner. I’m sick of the constant nastiness and negativity; is there any wonder that people have such little trust in politicians when time is wasted on vicious personal attacks instead of trying to work together to get the best deal for everyone.”

Jonathan Arnott (1981) British politician

It is time for our national conversation to move away from discussing whether Brexit will happen to a debate on how to make Brexit work for everyone in the UK http://www.jonathanarnott.co.uk/2017/02/it-is-time-for-our-national-conversation-to-move-away-from-discussing-whether-brexit-will-happen-to-a-debate-on-how-to-make-brexit-work-for-everyone-in-the-uk/ (February 13, 2017)
