Of those who supported leave even arch Brexiteer Daniel Hannan said he wants to see a Brexit that recognises the narrow win of the leave campaign. And “leaves intact a number of existing arrangements”, suggesting a hard Brexit has started to look unappealing.

Don't be silly. You can't account for people who choose not to vote, and anyway, are you seriously suggesting they'd all vote 'remain'? The fact is, they couldn't be arsed to vote, so they didn't care one way or the other. If they did vote, there is no reason to suspect that the proportion of leavers to remainers would be any different.

As for Danniel Hannan, if that is his view, he's entitled to it. The fact remains that if we end up with a half-baked Brexit, the majority of those who voted will feel betrayed and will lose all faith in the government.

I believe that TM knows this, and therefore will not go there.

BREAKING The DUP is planning to vote down this month’s Budget if Theresa May breaches the party’s red lines on Brexit, Sky News understands
Good for them! However, there is no danger of TM breaching those red lines, because she will never get that through her own party, let alone Parliament.

Maybe it's a message to warn off Hammond!
