More Brexit delay. May reveals white paper won’t be published until week beginning 9 July now. So two weeks of proper EU negotiating, before everyone goes on holiday for August, and whole deal done in September?

So, in brief:
1. It's June 2018 and Govt still can't agree what Brexit means.
2. And whatever it means has to be agreed with the EU.
3. But whatever it turns out to mean, it's what 'the people' agreed to in June 2016 because, somehow, they 'knew what they were voting for'.

Chance of Brexit reversal now gone. Will not stop debate on it, though. That’s the trouble with delusions. They last to the end, and beyond.

Brexit feels like two passengers furiously arguing about the destination of someone else’s car - and right now 65 million of us are hurtling out of control.

New Survation polling on Brexit:

— Referendum on final deal: 48% yes / 25% no
— A no deal Brexit would be: 47% Bad / 32% good
— Soft Brexit 43% / hard Brexit 37%
— Remain 53% / Leave 47%

That’s the first lead for Remain in any Survation poll since March (visualised below). The research also found that Britain is split down the middle over whether there’ll be a Brexit dividend (40% yes, 37% no).

"A chaotic, no deal Brexit would cause an economic shock. But ‘no Brexit’ would cause a democratic shock. Both are bad options that this country should try & avoid. I fear, though, that the democratic shock would be even more difficult to recover from"
