Like many people, I must say, I've found the last few years deeply, deeply depressing. I think Brexit has not enhanced our democracy, David: it's broken our democracy. It's broken our politics, and the crashing irony is that for many of those old-fashioned imperialists who see an imperial future for Britain, I believe that Brexit has also broken Britain. I believe it has broken the solidarity of communities. It's broken the people we are, and it's broken the people we could have been. We walked around the chancelleries of Brussels some weeks ago, and we heard time and time again that the United Kingdom was—in the First Minister's words—tarnished. Its reputation was less than it was and less than it could have been. Where Britain has led in the past, it is running away in the present. And it isn't running away as a United Kingdom, it's running away as a broken community and a broken society.

Let me tell you this—and you listen, David. You listen. I've been in this place for about 13 years and it's only since that band of warriors in the corner were elected that I've heard people in this country differentiated—the word 'foreigners' used in our debates, the word 'immigrants' used to define people contributing to our society. The words used to attack people who make our society better, and I bitterly, bitterly regret it. And let me tell Neil Hamilton—he'll learn this in Newport next month—democracy didn't end in June 2016, and democracy doesn't mean that you're unable to pursue what you believe in, what you hold dear. If you had lost that referendum, you would still campaign to leave the European Union. And I will still campaign not to leave the European Union. And in doing so, I don't decry the referendum or the right of people to vote to leave, but I campaign for what I believe in. I believe in a different version of society, a different view of who we can be. I believe in this country and I believe in our people. And I believe in our democracy, and what we've seen over these last few years has been the breaking of Britain and the breaking of British democracy, and we've seen that in each one of our parties.

Let me also say this: there's no sovereignty in a food bank; there's no sovereignty living if you haven't got a living wage coming in; there's no sovereignty if you don't know when the next wage packet turns up; and there's no sovereignty when the future of your job and your family is determined in the capitals of the world where your own politicians are unable to influence. I'll give way to Mark Reckless.
