Did you celebrate British Independence Day last week? Neither did I, said Sean O’Grady in The Independent.
There were no street parties in my neighbourhood on 23 June, the day on which, a year ago, we voted to quit the EU. Instead of rejoicing, Leavers like me are now suffering voters’ remorse. We fear that investment will drift away across the Channel; that Ireland will be divided once again by an internal border; that the NHS will be deprived of the immigrant workers it relies on. After the election, we don’t even have a strong government to push the Brexit case. When Theresa May went to Brussels last week and introduced her plans to grant the three million EU nationals in the UK the right to stay, she was heard politely by her fellow heads of government, before being gently ushered out of the EU leaders’ meeting, like a “drunk at a wedding reception”.
