The predictable bleating of a ‘Brexit sell out’ following a cross-party meeting to discuss how the UK can “make Brexit work better with our neighbours in Europe” and paranoic allegations of a plot to subvert the will of the British people is are truly pathetic in the light of the reality facing the country.

That such luminary Brexiters such as Nigel Farage, John Redwood, and David Frost reacted to news of the meeting at Ditchley Park in Oxfordshire with allegations of foul play and underhand dealings is no surprise.
