1) Great article on why #Brexit is insoluble
We can rail about respecting the vote, the EU being stubborn,May being incompetent etc all day long. The fact is it cannot be negotiated successfully, and anyone who believes otherwise is mistaken

3) half the country do not want Brexit, the other half (apart from the hardcore) voted for the pain free, cake & eat it easy brexit that was promised.

4) Brexit can't be solved
Rise of far right, loss of Labour northern seats, respecting the vote, disillusionment with politics, cries of "betrayal"
They don't change the fact that Brexit can't be solved
