The EU have already indicated they don't want a hard Brexit, so if that's true, and clearly some on here believe every word they say, they are going to have to come down off that high and mighty perch.

I do genuinely believe that something like Robert's Peston's scenario is a credible one, ie that the deal offered to the UK will be unacceptable to Parliament but that we'll negotiate a transition period that will go on for some time.
I know that's what you believe, Andrew.

Incidentally, the 'transition period' will actually be an 'implementation period' because we will already have left the EU by 2019. If there is nothing to implement because there's no deal, we would be out, and that's that.
