I think people today will be facing up to a couple of Brexit realities:

1. There is no strong and stable government in place at the moment and things are likely to worsen. It really is a case of Carry on Brexit.

2. The EU has likely rejected May's proposal for the Irish backstop

As a reminder, on 17 July 2016, John Redwood told us "Getting out of the EU can be quick and easy - the UK holds most of the cards in any negotiation."

3. There are no great trade deals out there which we as a non-EU country can readily take advantage of. David Davis's promises otherwise have been proven to be a sham at worst or daydreaming at best.
As a reminder, on 14 July 2016, he said "I would expect the new Prime Minister on 9 September to immediately trigger a large round of global trade deals...I would expect that the negotiation phase of most of them to be concluded within between 12 and 24 months."
