EU referendum "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?" The result was "Leave the European Union" The government has promised to implement the result. All we need to do is leave the EU and job done. So what's the problem Mrs May / Westminster?
May has deceived the public from the day she entered No 10, making countless speeches saying everything Leavers wanted to hear but then in private doing exactly the opposite.
