Throughout the campaign the vast majority of those who campaigned to leave stated very clearly that we wouldn’t leave the single market.
I know they lied about pretty much everything, but issues like this weren’t well understood and discussed. Just as ending immigration wasn’t. The winning side have attempted to interpret the vote to give them a mandate, dressed up in fascistic nonsense “the will of the people”, “saboteurs”, “enemies of the people”. We should call them out on this at every opportunity.

We need to keep harping on about this. Same that it was sold to people as a money saving exercise - 'we can cut through red tape and fund the NHS'. I feel like I'm living in 1984 with the level of revisionism going on, but we're living in a time of the internet and we can prove that these fuckers never sold Brexit as a way of making us worse off, even in the short term. The talk a year ago was of having our cake and eating it. Even hardcore Brexiters are susceptible to the feeling of being cheated (if they don't feel personally attacked - which just makes them double down).

Sadly I think a lot of leavers did vote that. An end to freedom of movement being a pertinent part.
