Tbf, they've consistently said at every opportunity that it can be stopped

It’s not hard to realise revoking Article 50 would take less ‘effort’ than the changes required for a so called hard or soft withdrawal. *insert Kenneth Williams photo*

I wonder if the MPs who would prefer to see a hard brexit over the proposed soft brexit realise their votes will make remaining more likely. It reminds me of the one of the information films produced before the proportional representation referendum, that went along the lines of - 6 people wanting to go to the pub and 4 people wanted to go to the cafe; 3 people voted to go to The Red Lion, 3 people voted to go to The Crown, so they all went to the cafe. I suspect those pushing for a second referendum would be happy to see 3 choices on the ballet paper.

I think it’s quite telling that they’ve skipped this No Brexit possibility in.

Nope. Not all the leave voters were xenophobes (although all the xenophobes were leave voters). But I firmly believe that a large majority of leave voters were swayed by that bus 'promise'. Bloody hell, if I'd thought it was remotely likely I'd have probably voted leave myself. But that's the difference between a general election and a referendum. Parties publish their manifestos for a GE, and can be held to account if they go back on their promises. Referendum? Say what you like, lie through your teeth, and there's no comeback, because 'the people have spoken', 'you lost, get over it', 'you just want to keep re-running it till you get the result you want', ad nauseam. And there was no 'world war three' meme, just 'this is not a good idea for the future of international security' - not as sexy as '£350M for the NHS', is it?

After the lack of polling accuracy demonstrated during the course of the referendum, I’m surprised anyone sees value in quoting them. As a Labour voter of 30 years, I’ve grown tired of polls predicting a win only to end up with a Conservative government.

That wasn't a promise was it? Only a fool would interpret it as a promise. It had Boris in front of it which is a good clue that it is a load of bollox

You answered your own question: "Only a fool would interpret it as a promise". They did. Lots of them probably still think it will happen, provided we are 'tough' enough with a 'hard' (good fighting word, that) Brexit.

These reporters are going to be gutted when she comes out and repeats what she said earlier for 4 minutes and marches back through the doors.

I will be surprised if it’s anything else.

It is awful, though.

Three questions and she has ignored each of them to just repeat stuff that she has already said.

If this goes on for a fair amount of time then it could get nasty.

[Tumblerseven]

When your prime minister cant answer a single question direcly or clearly thats kinda scary. She looks so weird when she talks like that its unbelievable..
