Such a narrow margin should have resulted in a far softer Brexit and a period of reflection not panic.
Instead, fearful of Farage, under Johnson and his Covid-busting chums we got the divisive rhetoric of we won, you lost, get over it, the only true Brexit is a hard Brexit.
The government's been throwing subsidies to business that would make even Tony Benn blush. Money is not the answer and the Northern Ireland protocol limits what we can do anyway.
Instead, Britain needs to be more productive to make it worthwhile to invest here. Brexit red tape worsens UK productivity and the government is introducing yet more of it from April. Hence why Tesla and BYD ruled out the UK as a car factory site.
