"What Brexit has proved, I'm afraid, is that our politicians are about as useless as the commissioners in Brussels were. We have mismanaged this totally and if you look at simple things, simple things such as takeovers, such as corporation tax, we are driving business away from our country. Arguably, now we are back in control, we are regulating our own businesses even more than they were as EU members. Brexit has failed."
