This is what I mean about the remainers' mindset. They have convinced themselves and everyone else that there will be a major loss of trade with our EU neighbours.

Sure, we will lose a little, but most of our trade with the EU will remain pretty much as it is. New trade agreements that fit better with our own needs will surely overcome such minor loss and very much more. The only caveat I would make is that this will work best under a Conservative Government. Labour would have absolutely no idea how to manage these new opportunities.

And the fact that we are the world's fifth largest economy does not even register in your thinking?

It's certainly the case that a lot of those who voted remain now want to get on with Brexit. Where is your evidence that a significant number of Brexiteers have changed their minds? I have seen no credible reports on that, but even the BBC has reported on many occasions that most former remainers now want Brexit to happen.
And the fact that it is a tenth of the size of the EU’s doesn’t even register on your thinking?

Rochdale are the fifth biggest club in the Manchester area - it doesn’t help them that much when they play Liverpool...
