remove this Tory government from office for a very long time, allowing the Labour party to address the grievances felt by the majority of the people that voted to leave, it may be worth noting that it was the deprived areas of the country, traditionally Labour heartlands that carried this outcome. The reason I say this is that I personally believe that although both sides in the campaign either did not provide the public with the correct information, it was certainly the case that the leave campaign blatantly lied to the British public , together with making numerous false promises . It was at the time obvious to members of the remain team and supporters that these promises could not and would not be honoured. It is my belief that the Tories have left the Labour party with a Tory open goal, all we have to do is ensure that the British public are not allowed to forget these broken promises and false hoods, together with the other failings of this government. We need to keep the pressure on the Tory government to honour these promises, one of the keys to maintaining this pressure is to push the government into invoking article fifty as soon as possible, hopefully we will avoid an early general election and allow this government its full five years in office, at this point the consequences of leaving the EU and the broken promises to the British publis will be blatantly

obvious. Even the Tories will not beable to blame the Labour party or the EU for the mess they have managed to get this country in to.
Yours Sincerely Tim Taylor.
