Five years after Brexit, the UK must restore its relationship with the EU

The Independent  

Five years ago this month, Brexit was “done” and the United Kingdom ceased to be a member of the European Union. We reluctantly accepted, however, that the majority of the British people took a different view, and that the government of Mr Johnson, the leader of the Leave campaign, was entitled to restrict immigration after Brexit. The considered view after five years must be that the best way to make us more prosperous would be to ease the trade frictions between Britain and the EU. We do not yet have to discuss the possibilities of rejoining – it will probably take longer than five years to persuade the EU to consider such a thing.

There are good arguments for leaving the European Union.
