A decade later and where is the Brexit we were promised?

N the early hours of a bright June morning 10 years ago I walked along the River Thames in a dazed state as I realised everything had changed.

Nigel Farage reacts to the Brexit referendum result in 2016 after campaigning hard

I had been dispatched to cover the Stronger In campaign’s referendum results event on the Southbank and most of Westminster expected it to be the victory party. When I had arrived the previous evening, spirits were high, with politicians, campaigners and journalists mingling while the coverage was played on a big screen.

There were cameras from all of the major stations at one end of the room ready to film live reactions from guests as the results came in. But once they did begin to roll in, the mood quickly turned sour as the gathering realised they were on course to lose.

Tempers flared in the early hours as Labour's heartlands voted to Leave. I watched as one of the party’s senior MPs, Chris Bryant, called Ed Miliband a “t***pot” when he popped up on a giant TV to ruminate on the results so far. Bryant went on to suggest he wanted to punch the former leader, who had been replaced the year before by Jeremy Corbyn, for leaving the Labour party in such a bad state that it was unable to persuade its voters to support Remain.
