Ten years ago today Britain voted by a narrow majority (51.9%) to leave the EU Most Brits living in other EU countries couldn’t vote. Commonwealth citizens in UK could The Leave campaign featured a pack of lies and promises that did not materialise Today, a growing majority want to rejoin the EU

All the right now has to offer is conflict. Some of its key figures have moved on from culture wars towards what seems to be a deliberate effort to foment civil war. If you're a conflict entrepreneur, the worse it gets, the better it is for you. Where they break, we must mend, building community.
