I contend she's honouring the referendum result.
Any hard Brexit will fail as industry will suffer in the long term and people didn't vote to be worse off.

That's not a very democratic thing to say. Indeed, that is the EU way - get the PM to rerun a referendum until the EU gets the result it wants. And why was Cameron so pro-Eu? He didn't want to lose his seat at the top table. Simples.

The difference between you and me is that I have no objection to a new referendum given the state of play, the additional information we now have, and the slim majority for Leave.

Whereas you actually want a new referendum because of the slim majority and your hope that it'll produce a Remain result.

Had it been the other way round, would you agree to a second referendum?

To be clear, I'm not asking for a second referendum. I'm asking May to deliver her commitment to 'Brexit means Brexit' as it would be understood in the ordinary sense.
