not much changes on the stroke of 11 in any practical sense, but Britain could no longer go into council.
Meetings at ministerial level prime ministerial level in the U Seats in the European Parliament have been withdrawn from us.
At that moment on Monday, something interesting starts happening in terms of defining the future relationship.
The prime minister here is gonna give a a speech on the U is going to unveil some of its plans for how it sees those negotiations.
The prime minister, I understand very much, sees the future relationship with the you as the sort of trade relationship that Canada has, and that is pretty pissed at the distant end of the scale.
In terms of expectations and where they were not so many months ago, when Theresa May was in number 10 he sinks.
Therefore, if he's going for that kind of deal, the only restrictions the you can put on Britain a pretty light ones, the sort of ones that they put on Canada that you expect is gonna come back and say, Who are you kidding?
Thing's gonna be pretty subdued here tonight with a light show which doesn't look like it's gonna be that extravagant and some drinks in side here.
This is how the day was marked around London way two sides were back one last time.
I've already seen some people dressed in very garish union jacks that make me feel quite shivering.
Battle is done with divisions remain.
I'm gonna very right and you gonna wear.
Have you split the country into other Brexit Prime minister?
Prime Minister, You could lean in a little bit of a symbolic cabinet meeting in Sunderland where leave triumphed where Brexit swung Labour votes to Tory's last month.
On Monday, in a speech, the prime minister will say he wants a trade deal like Canada has with you openly acknowledging the first time that approach means expensive delays as products up check to the border to the U.
The government estimates on the consensus amongst economists that will hurt areas like the Northeast.
I think for many people that voted in Brexit, I don't think money even came into their minds to be of the way elections were run people.
You put up a program and voted depending on how it will make them and their family better off.
But this was different.
This was different.
And these voters in your calls might even take a hit and be okay with that.
If it came to that, if it came to it, they would Oh yes, if it came to it, many of them in Brussels, Some of his parties MBPs were milking the moment as they left the European Parliament for the last time.
The U.
K's you office lowered its you flank.
Its staff numbers now go up with the extra pressures of being outside the U Club.
That club today put on a show of chin up unity.
As the sun rises tomorrow, a new chapter for our union off 27 will start.
Why have any other countries followed us?
Truth is this very temple to them because what it did three years ago, three years ago we had.
So we had Salvi in Italy and others talking about leaving the euro et cetera.
And then they watched what happened here.
They don't know that there's a contagion.
They watch the total utter Hall IX the British government made of Brexit because of that, because of that, they part of withdrawal of it from their positions.
What I do know it's not that they watch what happens when you negotiate and how that you gets the upper hand it out, use a bigger force than an individual country.
He was enormously powerful, hugely powerful things guys.
But that's why there hasn't been contagion, isn't it?
That's why people aren't following us out the door.
This is the beginning of the end of the European Project.
As I've said Thio, fellow Socialist Party leaders all across Europe, the conditions that led to the no vote in Britain also exist in France exist in Germany.
They exist in the Czech Republic, Italy and Spain.
Don't run away with the idea that the anger in Britain about the way the establishment treated them isn't replicated all across Europe.
It sounds like you've got more sympathy there for the leave argument.
What I've got is sympathy for the way, way and why people voted in that referendum.
I campaigned all over the country in that referendum.
I know hard enough, some people say Well, people said that afterwards.
Nobody said that during the campaign, nobody said that at that time Whitehall was lit up this evening, day of the referendum, civil servants spoke of distress and despair.
Back then, nearly 3/4 of all MPs back to remain were one of the biggest economies in the world.
Six biggest economy in the world.
We could make a success of the choice that we make.
And I'm sure that's exactly what we will do.
And I wish the government well in all their endeavors to make sure that happens.
Ah, a couple of 100 pro remain demonstrators serenaded the use office in London Once it will be back, you officials look touched.
Not sooner sooner rather than later.
Some people who fought alongside you for leave try to reach out to remain.
Er's today on DDE not gloat and not bask in their victory.
Well, that's because they got a split party.
You're talking about the conservatives?
Look, come on.
You and I both know that sound like you're up for half the cabinet.
You won't be doing that reaching out, Karthik.
I will half the cabinet voting.
Give me a rehearsal of it Now you are watching out missing half the cabinet.
Very remained there.
Embarrassed for what's going on?
They you were gonna gloat Mode.
Give me your reach out.
This is Look, I tell you what, I'll quit.
The Financial Times This is now happening.
Let's join together and let's make the best of it.
And I would say to people who voted remain.
We are living in a functioning democracy that the war is over.
Horace Johnson must now shape a new relationship with Europe, making a reality of that word.
Brexit, which convulsed our politics, divided the nation.
And as of four hours time, his law well, we've now on would come from the Brexit party and Tony Blair's former director of communications, Alistair Campbell, on Whitcomb.
This is the happiest day of your life.
Well, it's certainly one of the happiest.
I feel very, very jubilant.
But I'm also conscious of the great relief because I think like an awful lot of other people that happy in time to have the last 3.5 years when I thought, Well, I wonder if this really is going to happen on today.
It's happened or is happening.
So Alistair Campbell, you sad or angry or well, I'm very sad.
I think that the country is taking a wrong turn.
I think we will live to regret it I think that the promises that were made or not being delivered and now we're entering the hard part.
Now look, I'm British and a patriot.
I really hope that the country does well in the future, but I really fear that we've chosen our own decline and it makes me sad and yes, angry as well.
Do you have any anxiety that he may be right on time?
Of course we'll tell.
But we're the world's fifth largest economy.
We can open up trade deals with the rest of the world.
We take control of our own borders, our in laws.
What does worry me is if Boris doesn't actually stick to the red lines that he says he has drawn.
Now we know Boris, come talk big.
The question is, will you also walk big?
So that already known it'll be his fault, Not yours.
Depends what goes wrong.
I'm worried about the next 12 months.
The negotiations.
Now, if he gives away too much like if he gives in to Wanda Lyons demand for regulator realignment for a level playing field, then it will be useful.
And I hope he doesn't do that.
But, Mr Campbell, you could also have made a historic mistake all these years, and it could be a roaring success.
Well, you can't.
You can.
You can worry about the future.
You can be confident by the future's an is.
But I think the fact that we're already talking about this, depending upon the trustworthiness of Boris Jobson underlines just how father is to go.
He won the election.
Okay, fair play.
He won the election.
The message was, get breaks it done.
Brexit has not bean done.
We're leaving European Union.
What that now actually means in practice, I think does give me cause for concern.
And I worry that for all the red, white and blue on Downing Street in the 50 p coins when you read the text of that is his peace, prosperity and friendship with all nations.
I worry that we've undermined all three of those by what we're doing today.
You're really gonna be handing those 50 p's back if you get them in the chill.
While I'm going to suggest that shops have a little charity box in every single shop that handles cash people.
But they do exactly and allow.
My 50 piece will go one of those boxes.
What?
What if you give one to me in case I don't think you got one yet?
No, I'm looking forward to it.
I mean, there there is a risk.
Here is no his historic gamble.
We're on our own.
What does that say about our place in the world?
I don't believe it's a gamble.
I believe it's carefully thought through decision, which is different from a gamble.
I think what it says about our place in the world is that we're free and independent on can do deals with the rest of the world.
And I'm particularly hopeful for Africa because actually you think of you as benign.
But it is a great big protectionist block on.
I'm hoping that we'll be able to do deals which will benefit from it is very little were doing what I just said that we can do now.
And I think that the we are turning our back on European Union.
I think you've seen in the graceful way that the Europeans have handled our exit, that actually I think people will see that that's where our friendships are.
I think relying on Trump is gonna be a big mistake, particularly right now.
You're already seeing the worries in that relationship.
So I think to to use a phrase I think we could have by staying.
We could have had our cake and eating it eating it, and that's what we were doing.
We have no control over their own affairs, and I spent seven years.
Alistair also spent is in government in a different way.
But I spent seven years in government actually seeing on an almost daily basis that we couldn't do anything that wasn't compatible with EU law, that if they gave us a directive that we didn't want, we nevertheless had to implement it.
I watched how helpless we were and that was one my views on the you really hardened until then, moderately ambivalent.
You've always style yourself as you know, something of radical, shaking things up a little part of you That sort of sniffs the air and things for freedom revolution.
If I felt that this was genuine freedom, if I thought that this was revolution But I do worry that is choosing decline now, as I say, if they make it work fine and great.
But I've seen very little coming out of the mouths of our politicians.
That actually suggested me.
They thought that through.
So listen, I hope it works.
I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I will be everything I've heard coming from the man's of politicians.
At least the politicians were gonna be responsible for implementing it encourages May.
But my big concern is will they actually do it?
Will they stick to becoming a competitors on the EU's doorstep?
Or will we just have a level playing field, In which case we might as well, a lot of bother coming up?
Is this a revolutionary or a reaction?
Remove The end of the day I die.
Just believe is an entirely sensible move.
Is that conservative a conservative sensible is taking the country back?
Is taking the country power is something that we thought we had before, but actually it probably never existed insofar as when we talk about peace, prosperity and friendship of nations.
The European Union helped the U K Do that I mean first of all pieces kept by NATO, not by the U.
Secondly, prosperity.
With the world's fifth largest economy, we could be very prosperous in need and more prosperous.
S O.
I do believe that you would do so.
I believe there's a really, really chance opening up before us.
And I think we want to go in there and take it on.
Not just be afraid.
I think you're a bit timid, Alice.
I'm not gonna be very briefly.
Will you ever come to terms with this?
Yeah, course you don't.
You have to.
You know, it's just like when you know, when Margaret Thatcher get winning elections, you have to accept it.
So except it's happening.
But what it won't make me do is kind of eternal of six months and say that I didn't believe I don't believe today What I believe.
Yesterday we rejoin.
I don't know what I suspect.
A lot in my life, Absolutely.
But the next generation is not gonna have this.
The next generation next generation era will never go through this again.
We'll never get through this.
And we're talking to the next generation.
Later pregnant Alistair Campbell am would completely, very much for joining Sporting.
Welcome back to Berlin and the Brandenburg.
Now, here's just a small sample off the German newspapers this morning on Devil got Brexit on the front page goodbye, and good luck is for by its all over says another one on da goodbye.
So long, says 1/3.
Most of the German newspapers are dealing with this issue, and they all have a similar tone.
It is regret rather than good riddance.
The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, called Brexit a significant blow to US old but promised her country would want it to stay.
Is Britain's partner and friend.
Meanwhile, President Macron Frantz called Brexit a shock which would send historic alarm signals across Europe.
You know the power of Nexus works, you raisins averted.

Andrea Don't know democracy.
A very punch.
You turn there from President Macron Pap, setting the tone for future negotiations.
Now, although the big issues like trade and immigration, will dominate the next three months in Germany itself, there really has been more sadness than recrimination.
Germans have long appreciated Britain's role in the you, despite some well documented differences along the way.
Berlin is a city of scars, mostly self inflicted, many left for show and tell.
Like these bullet holes from the last days of the Second World War.
This place is a layer cake of uncomfortable history on the ability to move on.
Brexit is a new beginning, and Britain is about to reinvent itself.
And let's face it, no city knows more about reinvention.
Then Berlin take this hideous piece of architecture.
For example, when the Berlin Wall fell 30 years ago, there was jubilation across Europe.
The Cold War had ended without a single shot being fired.
But oddly enough, the fall of this wall also in some ways paved the way for Brexit because it allowed Germany to become united.
Germany was now a colossus of almost 90 million people inside the European Union and for many eurosceptics in Britain.
That was simply unacceptable.
Brexit wise, someone has scrawled on the wall Brexit to has left a small scar, an emotional one, and it's Hunt's heading Horseman's mission to make it heal.
It couldn't believe, and that the Brits what abandon ship when we were all in rough waters.
But the European Union, yes, but there are a lot of Brits who also voted for Brexit because they just don't like a dominant Germany in Europe, they don't really like the Germans very much.
That's the task off mine cessation off the German British society to build that personal trust.
And do you think that is not more important than it was before while we were members of the European Union?
Much more, much more.
But can all that good will survive the bruising months of trade talks to come?
Can they?
Rachel and Tammy, both married to Germans, both called this place hope I muted because I wanted to exercise my freedom of movement on, you know, when I was expecting to get married and my husband's German, and now it feels like there's this'll barrier now to go back to the UK What are the main challenges for the two of you?
Especially being married to right of return is solely within the gift off the UK government.
So my plea is you know, this isn't dependent on a negotiation with the U.
That is in their gift and they can say, You know, people who are married from this day have the lifelong right to return with their partners because we are British.
Brexit here might look a YouTube safe.
You're spoiled.
You've had it both ways.
You're British, but you've lived in Germany.
Get over it.
We're not, you know Expats, Deacon, you know, lying on a beach on the hospital.

Scotland's first minister, Nicolas Sturgeon, is declared that Scotland is being taken out of the European Union against the wishes of the overwhelming majority of people.
They're calling it a moment of profound sadness.
But she also seized the chance to warn that her Scottish National Party would now ramp up its campaign for independence.
Sculpting correspondent Karen Jenkins is in Edinburgh.
Karen Matt there have bean you flags flying high here in Edinburgh tonight and that events across Scotland and they'll be back here before 11 holding candles, lamenting Scotland's exit from the You know, a 1,000,000 or so Scott's did vote to leave the EU.
But the majority, of course, voted remain.
And so public events here have bean dominated today by more mournful, sorrowful gatherings.
The first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, wants to channel this moment to build momentum for an independence referendum.
Boris Johnson has other ideas.
He would like Brexit to build a case, a new case for the United Kingdom in Scotland.
But one thing we can say for sure tonight is that Brexit is happening and that the whole off the UK is leaving European anthem Scottish style Theo clock ticks towards Brexit for some reality kicks in.
I think the country's lost not personal losses loss for the UK This isn't it.
I mean, this is awful.
They even voted in the Scottish Parliament this week to keep the U flag flying, finding it hard to let go.
Your overwhelming emotion is what I think anger, anger, that ripping dragged out against our will, Nicholas Sturgeon said.
Brexit means the UK Scotland voted to stay within your longer exists.
She did for the first time that if Westminster keeps blocking an independence referendum, Scotland could hold its own nonbinding vote.
But overall, she urged patience again.
My job is to lead us down a credible path that can deliver independence on.
That is what I am absolutely determined to do.
How will you be feeling?
That's 11 p.m. 11 PM I feel as I said, didn't modem arts a great deal of sadness?
I will feel a tinge of anger because this is happening to my country completely against our will.
You know Scotland in the on the Brexit issue has Bean pretty united no shortcuts, said Scotland's first minister.
But a stroll along the Portabello Promenade proves this is tricky politics to get right to divide the country before it's already had a vote, and she wants to divide again.
So why you do that?
Do you want it to be talking about independence today?
No one is going to do a job that she's being for.
I know feel that actually, the government is very much an English government has got nothing to do with us.
And it'll have much control over you like Nicolas Sturgeon to move quicker.
I do a boot.
Yeah.
No, I like being part off u K I don't want to be Scotland to be itself.
No, I won't be this'll.
Movement is convinced Scotland will be back in the U is an independent country.
Are you leaving for good?
You think Scotland's?
I hope not.
I hope you'll be back in a sin is possible.
1,000,000 Scots voted to leave the U two million voted to stay in the U.
K.
If this is a night for healing divisions, there is some way to go.
Of course, the Irish border issue remains a major sticking point in the complex negotiations to come, and already there's been tough talk from the Irish.
T.
Shockley of a racket who's on the country will take a very firm line in trade talks to protect fishing and farming communities.
On the foreign affairs minister, Simon Coveney, insisted that island was Brexit ready and prepared for new realities will hear from him in a moment.
But first over to Pork.
O'Brien, who's in Dublin Park, Mass.
Were told again and again that Brexit is a process, not an event, and very little, as we've heard will practically change here on the island of Ireland in whatever it is three hours time.
But what it is a historic moment on a moment to think again about the relationships that these two countries have.
I think over the last few months, from Britain's point of view are from the political establishment.
In Britain's point of view, they were somewhat taken aback by the robustness of Ireland's negotiating position, how it so strongly aligned itself with its European partners over the negotiation period.
And for Ireland's part, it's looking again at its relationship with Britain and reassessing its relationship with Britain.
What will tomorrow morning feel like?
In terms of that relationship?
I imagine it'll feel something like a a couple who have been married for years and years and years turning each other into each other in the bed and blinking into the morning sunshine on wandering just for that split second.
Who are you again?
Poor combine event.
And what an image to end on that.
That's all from Berlin on this.
His story day back to Cathy in Westminster.
Katherine.
Thanks, Matt.
In a short time ago, I spoke to the Irish Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister, Simon Cho.
Vinnie.
I began by asking him to describe his emotions on this momentous day.
Well, I mean, for me and for most people in Ireland, I think this is This is a sad day and I think in many ways everybody loses here.
In my view, the UK, um will be lesser for not having EU membership in the solidarity that comes with Certainly the you will be a week or union on garlands, which is in many ways being caught in the crossfire in the negotiation so far, continues to try to protect our own interests.
So what is the extent of those checks that you envisage?
How much friction do you think there will be inevitably?
Well, I mean, I think that is that's up to the UK.
Unfortunately, the Prime minister has decided to set a very, very tight timeline for these negotiations.
And if we don't have a trade agreement in place at that point in time, well then w t o rules World Trade Organization rules will kick in on could be very damaging to the economies of both Ireland on the UK, so we need to avoid that.
But we don't have much time to do it and you still planning then for the possibility of a hard border to be imposed in December at the end of December.
What we've done is we've spent tens of millions of euros upgrading our port facilities.
There's also going to need to be checks between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, even though it's all the United Kingdom.
The withdrawal agreement is very clear on this that goods coming into Northern Ireland will effectively be goods coming in, potentially to the to the U because of course we have a guarantee in that withdrawal agreement that there can be no border checks or no border infrastructure between north and south on the island of Ireland on that also is going to require infrastructure is going to require a committee system to put it in place on a lot of political discussion to turn what is a very complex agreement into a practical reality.
When the U.
K government assured you there would be no checks between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, were they lying to you?
No.
I mean what's been agreed is that there can be and will be no checks between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and that is for very good reason, because border infrastructure between north and south of the island of Ireland was a source of enormous political tension on the island of Ireland.
But the cost of that solution is that there is going to be a need for limited checks on goods coming from G B into Northern Ireland, because, of course, those goods could find their way into the single market through Northern Ireland into the republic.
But ultimately that will depend on how the UK approaches this negotiation.
Because unless we can agree to this level playing field, um, on reassure the you that the UK isn't trying to derive competitive advantage for its own companies by deregulating effectively, then there isn't going to be a trade deal without tariffs or quotas.
You've set out the scale of trade between Ireland and the U.
K one of those areas.
That is a most concern to you is fishing.
Does the UK inevitably have to make concessions on fishing in order to get better?
Access for financial service is to the rest of you.
I think the straight answer That question is probably yes.
Three UK needs to get certain flexibilities from the U and the U will look for certain flexibilities from the UK on.
I think fishing will be one of those areas on.
I think it's important to be realistic and honest about that challenge early in this negotiation so that we're honest with our fishing industry, whether that's the UK fishing industry or ours here in Ireland.
Simon Kompany speaking to me earlier So with the prime minister choosing to mark Brexit Day with his Cabinet in Sunderland today the first city to backed Brexit when the results of the referendum were announced in 2016 are people in the Northeast celebrating with him?
Our political correspondent Liz Bates has been finding out the Brexit buses, a political party, but of a different kind.
3.5 years after the Brexit vote and levers are finally celebrating way are gonna put new heart.
And the people of this couldn't be no When it really comes, don't of it.
It's not about Brexit, really.
It's about Christo.
So you think that after today, life in the Northeast and the rest of the country is going to be better?
No, I'll be telling 74 rate.
I'll be dead.
But I knew not Children and their Children will be British independent, and it's a new era, affable.
So when it gets to 11 o'clock tonight and we finally here at the mechanics arms in South Shields, this Brexit bash will be going on until two in the morning.
But all those spirits are high.
There is still skepticism.
Some of them knows where you're still going to have to abide by.
Why, if finished with them.
Why should we?
Yeah, So even though it's Brexit day today, you don't feel like it's the end of the process.
It know it.
Room Britannia Britannia rules the waves but couldn't really upon now.
So even even though Brexit's happening today, you still don't feel hopeful that you're gonna get what you want.
I don't know what's going to form A what you gonna do for May Yet before you're old?
Come on.
Okay.
You got the whole apartment that was coming.
Even Bunga bloody clock.
Want to pull a lot down there?
Don't Sunderland declared first on referendum night.
A shock leave landslide on being the quickest accounting votes.
Put the city at the center of a symbolic moment.
But do they still feel at the heart of the process?
What is happening to say?
How do you feel about it?
I don't really care.
I don't think something to celebrate.
I mean, I could say I wanted to stay in.
I'm not upset.
I'm not gonna sit.
Drink French lager and the Frenchies never rejoin 15 years, Titan.
There's gonna be an awful lot of people who would have voted remain who still gonna be in the same boat.
In most of the people that would have voted to leave will have died.
A city that has sometimes felt left in the dark is tonight lighting up its landmarks for Brexit.
The council say it's an act of unity to mark an important moment and to bring an end to political divisions in South shields with just a few hours to go.
Until that historic Brexit moment, the night is just getting going with the next stage of the process just starting.
The question now is what happens when the party's over.
Well, let's hear briefly now from the conservative MP Andrew Rosendo, who's holding his own Brexit celebration party, Andrew Rosendahl.
You feeling very jubilant.
Way are indeed.
Yes, we're having a great party here in Romford.
People are celebrating.
They've waited 47 years for this moment, and I think it's a historical shift for Britain.
But it's democracy being upheld, and people are celebrating that we get in control of our country.
We can inside our own destiny once again and thanks to Boris Johnson for delivering his promise and being true to the British people.
And if you invited any remains to your party, everyone's welcome.
We've got people actually here from Europe that wanted to celebrate with us.
Everybody's welcome, because the country has to now go forward together, leave and remain.
That's gone.
Brexit will be over tonight at 11 o'clock from now onwards, we have to unite a country and build a Briton.
That's right.
Trading around the world making friends again with our neighbors, making their own decisions, deciding our own destiny, not being told what to do but making decisions in our own interest.
So everyone's welcome tonight on I can tell you now way having a fantastic party, we're gonna be celebrating until the early hours.
Andrea Rosen Della.
Enjoy yourself.
Thanks for letting else drop in tonight.
Welcome back to Westminster with just a couple of hours until Britain leaves the EU, and joining me now are two young campaigners from either side of the Brexit Divide.
Dominique Samuels, who's president of the Orthodox conservative group on Femi Allah wallah who founded the Our Future.
Our choice pro remain movement for me on our first.
How different do you think Britain will feel at 11 o'clock?
It's ironic that one of the main reasons why people voted for Brexit was the have more control over the country sovereignty.
And after 11 o'clock, you will still be bound by the rules of the you under this agreement, but will no longer have a say which will actually be objectively less sovereign, have less control over the country, which is ironic really Well, don't tell me, how do you feel?
Different already?
Does Britain feel different?
I think though we certainly do feel different just because of how hard the last three years of bean we have, you know, changed.
Prime ministers.
We've had two elections on the country.
Has had toe have another say yet again.
We've made it emphatically clear what we want to do.
We want to leave the European Union.
And I just think quite frankly, arguments like these have been tried and tested.
They said again and again.
Now it's time to just move on and hope for the best for the country during the transitional period.
And after you finished here, you're gonna be moving on up to Parliament square for Nigel Farage is Brexit party.
We can see the pictures now.
I think you're gonna be celebrating late into the night.
Definitely Think back to the Brexit march of how angry everyone waas and help set the word.
They felt like they were being trade betrayed by Parliament.
And now when you think about it, well, Boris Johnson has helped democracy prevail.
So why wouldn't we celebrate?
I know that a few people have been saying that we should be gloating too much that we shouldn't seem too joyous.
But at the end of the day, it's been hard for us, and we've been tested again and again to show that we want to leave the European Union and it's finally happening.
I mean, you're putting a brave face on it, but you feel, how are you gonna come to terms with just the point that this helped develop democracy prevail?
This was a failure of democracy.
Simple question.
Do all the 17.4 million people who voted for Brexit support bars on since deal No.
250 1000 unionists who voted for Brexit in 2016 obviously oppose this deal because it splits the union, as Boris Johnson swore no prime minister would ever do get.
That's what he's doing now.
The only chance we've had this have have a say on this deal was the general election in which 52 in which 53% vote for parties that were committed to a second referendum on a different deal, so they rejected because our voting system constituencies that never vote conservative before, particularly in the North limit.
Linds voted concerned for the first time in their life.
And why?
Because they no longer felt that labor represented them.
They wanted them to talk about immigration.
They wanted them to talk about the issues that matter to them and be, quite frankly, didn't you can vote for the Green Party.
Could vote for all these of the parties for a multitude of not just Brexit with slogans Brexit Dominic but was successful.
That was a clear Get away from this end, this question based on the results, the 2016 17 2019 election Did the majority of people vote to approve Boris Johnson's deal?
Yes or no?
The way that the way that our elected at which can only be one winner, which is broken later got the worst results.
It's not.
It's not a question.
If you're trying to make a wider point, how are you gonna bridge these divides?
How you gonna reach out to your remain, er, friends?
If I've seen you have remaining friends, Oh yeah, I definitely one of my best friends is obsolete.
Remain.
Er, I think that the best thing that we can do is accept that this has happened and it's happening on believe in the European Union, and it's not helped by people like me who compare conservative organizations to Isis so you can leave.
But let's leave that there for a minute.
But family?
How do you do you accept it?
Or do you try and rejoin now?
Right now, it's about it's about basically watching what happens basically Wavefront four years basically fighting over the steering wheel.
Right now, boys don't have full control.
So now we're all sat in the back seat, waiting to see if the destinations any good at the end of this year.
Boris Johnson will either have full regulatory line with you, have an extension or a no deal that turns us into the only economy in the world that has no trade deals with anyone within 2000 miles.
Those are our options at the end of this year.
After that, we will know was Brexit good idea about it if right now everybody could just watch very briefly for me, I'm very optimistic by how their future negotiations will go.
I think that it's in the use interest on our best interest to negotiate a trade deal, and I think it will happen just like Brexit happened.
Germany Samuels formula will thank you both very much for joining us on this historic night.
That's the news tonight.
Before we go, we leave you with some of the key moments off Britain's relationship with Europe from when we joined the EEC in 1973 until the very last moment tonight on end divisions which have stricken Europe way in Europe to stay way I can't European superstate exercising a new dominance from I do not intend to let Britain this sidelines in yours.
No, neither be fortress Britain.
Nor will we be an open house.
We did not get that bear the sharing, but we live to fight another day like me or low.
Don't bind my hands.
This is the year 2000 and five Lot 1945 that is no, But that rebellion is no letter stations.
Bond doesn't admit the reason he won't have a referendum is that he's scared of losing it.
If we were decided to join the euro, we would have a referendum to give the British people referendum Choice is in your hands will be out of the way.
Good.
Go down in our history.
I love this country and I feel honored to serve the country.
