a brexiteer, he was the leading campaigner for brexit, as a brexiteer, he was the leading campaignerfor brexit, as it were, before the referendum on whether we should stay or try and leave. and foreign secretary and he has been a very tricky member of the cabinet to keep on board for some time. but many are looking at what he has to say in this resignation letter and many would agree with him. many who voted to leave. i would say yes, many who voted to leave would agree with him. but then there is the other side and the other side is business and business needs clarity. some business leaders are wanting brexit. yes, but not many. if you look at the companies who really have to do a lot of trade with europe, they are very worried. if you look at airbus, bmw, rolls—royce, many of these companies
