MR Thomson states that a second referendum could well be a risky venture.

He also highlights the huge damage that Brexit is about to do to the country ‘economically, socially and politically as it drains confidence in investment, damages growth, generates shortages of key workers and undermines the integrity of the UK’.

He also rightly points out that we must now address the social inequality and resentment that, in part, triggered the Brexit vote but surely, part of that process should be holding the government to account on the Brexit it is choosing for us?

The promises made by the Leave campaign have been shown to be at best unachievable, at worst a web of lies.

Whilst some will argue that we had a vote and it must be carried out, to do so in a highly damaging and even dishonest way that will not have the endorsement of the British people, is taking a far bigger risk with our trust and our social cohesion than carrying on regardless.

This is too big a deal for all our futures and we should be able to hold our government to account on its deal by seeing what it is and endorsing it...or not, before they change the direction of our country for a generation. That’s why I will be at the People’s Vote march in London.
