I worked for Vote Leave, but I now realise Britain must stay in the single market | Oliver Norgrove

The Tories claim to be the party of economic stability yet are driving the country to a cliff edge. A Labour push for a pragmatic Brexit could be pivotal

Will Brexit become the Conservative party's Iraq war? It is in many ways a poisoned chalice: its effects are incredibly complex and capable of causing bitter divides among ministers. It is being negotiated haphazardly and will demoralise the party for years to come.

I don't write this as an embittered "remoaner". I used to be a hard Brexiteer - I even worked on comunications close to the heart of Vote Leave. But I've now converted to a soft Brexit position. My version of our departure from the European Union is largely based around the Flexcit pamphlet, comfortably the most useful and comprehensively researched body of work on Brexit yet produced. As a result I fall into what appears to be a niche category of leave campaigner: I try to be as pragmatic as possible about our departure.
