Brexit is unnecessary argue Will Hutton and Andrew Adonis in The Guardian. What we have to do is build a new Britain.

What I didn't know is seven out of ten of the poorest areas in Europe are in fact in England. They all voted for Brexit. This is the issue that needs to be resolved. Leaving the EU won't settle it.
"To chase the economic moonbeams peddled by Brexiters while the values we prize are under global assault, to cower behind borders that shut out the rest of our continent, and to seek to resurrect an unachievable island sovereignty: this is a dead end that can only result in widespread suffering. That could even begin the day after Brexit next year, with widespread shortages of medicines, fuel and food as the port of Dover collapses with no Brexit deal – according to Whitehall departments’ risk assessments leaked and paraded
in the Sunday Times yesterday.
"Brexiters dodge these truths. Intent on completing the Thatcher revolution, they want us out of the EU at any cost. While feigning concern for the state of Britain, their real agenda is wholly to embed a Thatcherite world of self-organising free markets and minimal social provision that will bring unalloyed benefit – whatever the baleful track record. They want out of Europe because it stands in their way."
These are the people who want to privatize the NHS and what is left of the welfare state. They will make money out of it and don't give a monkey's about you and me. May, Johnson and Hunt belong to this group. Then there are those who hate foreigners, this includes a big chunk of the Tory Party.
