    The referendum promises are looking a little threadbare:

    "The day after we vote to leave we hold all the cards and we can choose the path we want..." - Michael Gove (9 April 2016)


    “We will obtain a comprehensive agreement on trade and security, giving us the "exact same benefits" that we have as a member” - David Davies, Parliament, January 2017


    "There will continue to be free trade, and access to the single market..." - Boris Johnson (26 June 2016)


    "Getting out of the EU can be quick and easy – the UK holds most of the cards in any negotiation..." - John Redwood (17 July 2016)


    "The free trade agreement that we will have to do with the European Union should be one of the easiest in human history..." - Liam Fox (20 July 2017)


    "There will be no downside to Brexit, only a considerable upside..." - David Davis (10 October 2016)


    Time to deliver on the promises lads. Thanks. Whatever happened to Fox and Davis by the way?

    “The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain”

      That went well
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        To be fare, he was correct .... on 1st April 2019 we were still in the EU so we had access to all their trade deals
