We are still waiting to hear a single benefit of Brexit

Brexit is the plague that will still be infecting the UK long after the Covid-19 pandemic has been brought under control.

Remember those "sunlit uplands" that we were promised?

No, I haven't seen them either.

The economic, social and political implications of Brexit are clear to anyone with the slightest knowledge of what has already arisen. They were wholly predictable and indeed predicted.

The adverse impacts of our self-imposed isolation will last for generations.

Nonetheless, from Brexit there is, or should be, a real opportunity from so-called "taking back control" to implement a new statutory framework for the environment and nature.

The UK is the least effective G7 country at protecting nature and wildlife (see here) but our Government refuses to implement legally binding measures and targets plus investment to ensure both the protection and recovery of natural habitats and their biodiversity.

The Government offers plenty of "green washing" and vague aspirations but that is not enough to address the worsening biodiversity crisis in our country.
