Indeed not. If they wanted to go for popularism they would join in the rhetoric from the Mail and Express.

However, time is not on her side - something of her own making - so she may be tempted to shaft the country and take the easy option of a hard Brexit.

I don't think there is any option other than a full, and fast, Brexit. As I said before there is no need for much negotiation as there's little to negotiate over. May and company have made their position quite clear, it would be extremely politically difficult for them to back down from that.

At very least it will provide some clarity for businesses so that they can join Nissan and JLR in holding up the taxpayer for subsidies.
