What Brexit might really mean for the rest of us

Possibly the real significance of Theresa May’s recent speech setting out Britain’s position on Brexit was that it has energised interest and debate on the topic beyond the political classes.

Two days after that speech, I attended a public meeting on Brexit in a midlands town. There were over 300 people there.

After the clear signal of intent that a “hard” exit from the EU was on the cards, people are beginning to want answers to the issues that affect them on a day-to-day basis. Because nothing is finalised, nothing can be certain.
