> By now, every single campaign promise made in 2016 has come unstuck…Even the promises on immigration, which has so greatly enriched our country, are a lie. After Brexit, immigration will go up, not down. When we enter into negotiations with countries such as India and China, they will ask for three things—visas, visas and more visas—and they will get them, because we will be weak.
Pedantic correction: should be “whisky”, no “e”, as per the article.
