A supplement to our “Brexit Basics” posts
At the end of David Cameron’s final PMQs, Mr Kenneth Clarke (Rushcliffe) (Con) commented, pointedly:
“May I first join with all who have thanked the Prime Minister for the statesmanlike leadership that he has given to our party and to the country for the past six years? … may I ask that he will nevertheless still be an active participant in this House as it faces a large number of problems over the next few years? As no two people know what Brexit means at the moment, we need his advice and statesmanship as much as we ever have”. [HC Hansard 13 July 2016, Vol 613 Col 239]
