There is no doubt that the Brexit vote gave a huge boost to Donald Trump, our number one Brexiteer, but also to Vladimir Putin whose central mission is to destroy the European Union.

Brexiteers, however, will fail to break the European Union for reasons that are clear to everyone, but they have certainly damaged the foundations. In particular, they have made it easier for Mr Putin to dump the most dangerous chemicals imaginable in cities like Salisbury. In response, I hope British Prime Minister Theresa May will cancel all Russian visas, sequestrates all Russian assets, halts all financial transactions with Russia and stops all trade between the UK and Russia. I have little doubt that some Brexiteers who failed to see the unintended consequences of their actions will now turn tail and support Mrs May.
