Someone's planning to build a Brexit museum

Brexiteers - whose best-laid plans haven't always been to everyone's liking - have had another idea: gather an archive of memorabilia to ensure that the tired tale of Britain leaving the EU can be told for generations to come.

The Museum of Brexit - formally known as 'the Museum of Sovereignty' - already has a website asking for donations of information and artefacts to help it paint a picture of the road to Brexit.

Those fishing boats that battled down the Thames, that infamous '£350 million for the NHS' bus, endless portraits of Nigel Farage clutching a pint... Remainers will be glad to hear that the project is still very much still in the planning stage, with its location still to be determined.

Veteran Eurosceptic Lee Rotherham, who is chairing the campaign, told The Guardian:

It’s going to be a long, slow business.

It’s too early to move on to the legacy side of Brexit now, but unless we start the process now, some of the material will potentially be gone.

The small number of people pushing the proposal hope not just to tell the story of that pivotal moment in Britain's history, but the decades of Euroscepticism that proceeded it: from Labour backbencher Tony Benn in the 1970s all the way to Nigel Farage today.

Not everyone is a fan. Upon hearing the news, it sounds like Nick Clegg won't be heading to the museum for a family day out and had some ideas he shared with the Financial Times:

The Brexit bus should be parked in the forecourt.

Then you could have a blank canvas in the entrance hall to represent their Brexit manifesto.

James McGrory, who heads the anti-Brexit Open Britain Group, had similarly creative suggestions:

It is a shame that this initiative did not come earlier because some things have been lost forever to future generations, like Boris Johnson’s moral compass.

If all else fails, they could just store Nigel Farage in there. He is a relic from a bygone era after all.
