It was my birthday yesterday, so I went off on a very gentle bike ride with Mrs K involving lots of coffee and cake, burgers and beer, and pretty much ignored the news. However, my twitter feeds were filled with howls of liberal despair as Theresa May triggered Article 50 and the formal start of Brexit, and across the pond, Donald Trump started tearing up Barack Obama’s climate change legislation.

So where are we?

We are where we are. Now that might sound as empty a phrase as ‘Brexit means Brexit’, but it is true. There’s not much we can do about the events of the last few days.

But we can decide what we are going to do tomorrow. Or where we want to be in 10 years time. And neither Theresa May or Donald Trump can stop us (10 years presents a couple of electoral cycles in most democracies).

So let’s do it!

In January’s Ask Gareth, I went into this in a bit more detail – maybe an apt time for a recap.
