In her gig standing in for prime minister Liz Truss yesterday, Penny Mordaunt perpetuated the myth that the 2016 EU referendum was a one-off. She herself may be forgiven because she was not born when the first referendum was held in 1975. The people who briefed her and other Conservative speakers should know better, though. This is not just nit-picking. The anti-Rejoin campaign thrives on the legend that the British people were denied a say in the country's membership until 2016.
