Fraser Nelson of The Spectator is clearly getting a bit unnerved by the action of various groups trying to upset the Brexit apple cart (HERE) and thinks it's time to defend Brexit from those he says are mounting an effective rearguard action. He actually believes, "The vision of Brexit sold in the campaign was detailed, liberal, globally minded and massively popular. It’s time to start fighting for it once again". Detailed? Really? Mr Nelson would like to think he's clever but my mother would say he's as dim as a nightlight.
However, seemingly in response to Fraser Nelson's call. Jonathan Isaby of The Taxpayer's Alliance has announced (HERE) he is leaving to become editor of a website called Brexit Central, started by Matthew Elliot who was behind Leave's most egregious and misleading claims. The objective is to “make the case for the clear, open version of Brexit that was described, and endorsed, at the referendum”
I think it shows that Leave never had any kind of post vote plan, not even to start a website to encourage the government to go through with Brexit. It is only the response of remainers that has shown the war has not even started yet - the vote to leave was only the declaration and the first battles are months away yet. I'll sign up to keep an eye on what they're doing.
