Our politics failed us. And since it is our politics only we can fix it. We are leaving the EU and entering a period of volatility without precedent or comparison. Offered a choice between fear of the unknown or fear of the foreigner, fear inevitably won. Britain lost.

We are entering a period of unprecedented political and economic volatility. We need independent journalism that respects facts, embraces a diversity of viewpoints and seeks to understand the underlying themes that inform this moment.
