The Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, reached out to Remainers in a major speech today and asked them to help make Brexit work for the UK.

"It is not good enough to say to Remainers – you lost, get over it; because we must accept that the vast majority are actuated by entirely noble sentiments, a real sense of solidarity with our European neighbours and a desire for the UK to succeed. All I am saying is that by going for Brexit we can gratify those sentiments – and more." he said.

The speech put across the real positive aspects of Brexit and the concept of a new, international UK operating fully on a global scale in its own right.

"It is a striking fact that our exports to the EU have grown by only 10 per cent since 2010, while our sales to the US are up 41 per cent, to China 60 per cent, to Saudi Arabia 41, New Zealand 40, Japan 60, South Korea 100 per cent.

"Those figures reflect the broader story that the lion’s share of the growth is taking place outside the EU, and especially in the Asia-Pacific region."

The message to those who would still try and wreck our exit from the EU was that they too could be part of our future success.

And he finished with the words:

"Brexit is not just the great liberal project of the age, but a project that over time can unite this country. So let’s do it with confidence."
