“Those voters do not want to have a conversation about Brexit,” said Joshua Simons, the director of Labour Together, a think-tank close to Labour leadership. How dare they prioritise one group of voters over all others?

Ellwood thinks that the election will bring release and hope: “I can see all parties embracing the idea of rejoining the single market… I put money on it that it happens in the next five years.” After so many years of Brexit thought compliance, will this country be in a fit state to take such big steps? I don’t think so.

I don't think many people will have the enthusiasm to go through a whole rejoin thing whether they were leave or remain that feels like ancient history now. Bring up Brexit now and most people roll their eyes, myself included

I imagine what will work is that the government starts to rebuild relationships with EU countries and make the best they can of a bad situation. It's obviously not worked but to save face there'll be a lot of unofficial understandings and deals.

It's a mess
