Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for coming along today. I'm delighted to say for our event today we've got an all-star panel almost need no introduction, but I've got Dan Hanen, former member of the European Parliament, now member of the House

Lords, Cheryl Jacobs from the Telegraph, one of the most popular economists.

Ian Duncan Smith, former leader of the Conservative Party, a man given 1% chance of re-election by the BBC on election night.

Less than 1%.

And we're delighted to say,

he defied the odds and is here today with us,

as one of the one-two one.

And then Tom Lubbock from JL Partners,

one of Britain's leading pollsters,

so we'll talk about public attitudes

towards Brexit, four and a half years on.

So I think we talk about the subject of Brexit dividends obviously can point to things such as the cost opportunity of having been in the European Union, how our future might have panned out.

For instance, we were paying 8 billion a year still in contributions. You can talk about things like COVID, how we would coat,

as Boris Johnson wrote last week about vaccinations and how that might have all panned out.

But I do think that even if you can talk about points of successes, there is a sense perhaps among Tory members here,

certainly a conference that maybe the full benefit

to Brexit haven't yet been realized.
