Ann Widdecombe says issues with Brexit are down to not doing it properly

The old 'Peter Pan' defence has been out in force this week as Brexiteers try to argue the project failed because we "didn't believe in it".

Ann Widdecombe has argued that the negative fallout from Brexit has nothing to do with the split itself – but that it hasn’t been handled correctly.

Appearing on TalkTV to discuss recent “Brexit betrayals”, the former MEP took the ‘Peter Pan’ defence by arguing that politicians haven’t believed in Brexit enough to make it succeed.

“It isn’t that Brexit hasn’t been a triumph, it is how we have handled Brexit that hasn’t been a triumph”, Widdecombe said.

..It isn't that brexit hasn't a triumph

Lord Heseltine also made an appearance on the show, stylishly schooling Reform UK leader Richard Tice on the split using extracts from newspapers that backed Brexit in 2016.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
