Thanks for your excellent piece, Mr. Dunt. Brexit has been such a slow-rolling disaster that we need concise accounts of the key "leave" figures and where they are now (rolling in clover), the false claims they used to persuade the constituencies they were aiming at, and the consequences, which will continue to unfold over time.

I agree. Watching the withdrawal bill debate yesterday was disheartening, as it highlighted once again the lack of consequences for lying.

In order to rebuild trust, we have to take concrete steps to hold politicians to account, starting with the broken promises during the referendum campaign. I fear the lack of commitment to truth will get even worse as the full impact of Brexit becomes clear, making it even more urgent to challenge false claims and hold politicians to account.
