Hola, here’s the first Brexit Benefit

Whenever Brexit is discussed these days, you will nearly always find a splenetic or exultant Remainer asking, often in a weirdly high pitched voicetone: where are the Brexit Benefits then? Can you name any? Mm? Just one? Where is the £350 million for the NHS?

And to be fair to these people, since the Brexit vote, obvious, tangible, yay-look-at-this Brexit Benefits have been pretty thin on the ground. Or, in fact, utterly non existent.

The first Actual Brexit Benefit is the ability to go and work in lovely sunny parts of the EU and pay way less tax

For those who voted Leave on the basis of sovereignty, this does not matter much. For these people, Brexit is itself the benefit. We brought democracy (however flawed) back to the UK. Westminster has become, once again, what it should always be – our crucial political cockpit, where the affairs of the nation are fairly and finally decided. We can now elect and eject those who purport to govern us, something we could never do with Ursula von der Leyen, et al.
