As someone who was proud to be active in the Brexit campaign I share the impatience of the many who feel Brexit needs to happen now and on the terms the British people gave the government the mandate to implement.

We are a great global trading nation in a world that speaks English and, in Manchester, have first class communications across the world. The EU is in decline, has a serious democratic deficit, has removed two democratically elected governments, has a court that is accountable to itself, controls over 60 per cent of our laws, has brought economic chaos that has led to the resurgence of extremists parties on the right and the left and its clumsiness with the Ukraine was the catalyst for the Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine and the annexation of the Crimea.

European exporters need access to our markets more than we do theirs and the free unfettered movement of people has to end. The sooner we are out the better and let us believe in the greatness of our people and nation.
