Vote Leave director admits they won because they lied to the public

Buried in a 19,800 word Spectator essay written by former online editor and Vote Leave director Dominic Cummings is an admission: The Brexit referendum was won by lying to the public. The piece, found here, is well worth reading but also falls victim to classic mansplaining of a complex issue with many words wasted on prose that most politicians would be proud of, working around the subject rather than delving in to the heart of it.

Exploring Lake Windermere at the Lakeside Hotel and Spa

The idea of going to a spa has always filled me with dread. Walking around in a robe with my bare feet on display, quietly shuffling in slippers five sizes too big, while a stranger prods at me with their bare hands?
