Dear Vote Leave supporters,
Let’s honour the referendum result and get Brexit done so the country can move on.
Days after the 2016 referendum, I emailed all of you to say thanks for your heroic efforts. I also said — keep an eye on my blog, if Brexit is in danger then I will send up a ‘bat signal’ here.
Here we go…
All of you who helped Vote Leave win should ask yourself: what should I do, and not do, to ensure we leave in the best way possible?
This is my answer to this question…
Boris fought for Leave in 2016. I worked with him closely in the referendum. I know how committed he was. I also know how angry he was that the government did not immediately put more money into the NHS, as should have happened and as we in Vote Leave campaigned for.
On 21 July 2019, three days before becoming Prime Minister, he asked me to gather as many of the old Vote Leave team as possible and bring them to Downing Street to help deliver Brexit.
