We’re making no demand beyond that which was promised in 2016: that the result be respected. The result has not been implemented. We must leave, as promised. If that doesn’t work out then why not start campaigning for a referendum on joining?
Nothing, incidentally, has changed since 2016 in our knowledge of what leaving looks like, except for what we have “learned” thanks to the machinations of an EU, a UK civil service and a cabinet made predominantly of people who didn’t want us to leave. We haven’t actually left so there’s no valid reason for holding a new vote on the same question.

Not true - we have learned that we will be stockpiling food, medicines, reserving cross-Channel ferry capacity and specialist warehousing and stockpiling space, hiring more Border Force officers, having contingency plans to manage bottlenecks in freight traffic, spending around £130m on a huge public information campaign, and under Operation Yellowhammer, the MOD will have 3,500 troops available for deployment if needed.
We didn’t know that in 2016...
