A referendum is different. If you tell people that the majority choice will be honoured, and then fail to honour it, there’s a breach of trust.

That relies on the people returning a Government capable of delivering, which they didn’t do in 2017. There’s no breach of trust, or treachery, at all.
It’s just poisonous, divisive rhetoric ironically from those who should be delighted. Rather than be happy at having left there’s residual bitterness at those who disagreed. Rather than forging our glorious path into the future it’s all “ah but” and “if only”. It’s almost as if this was a more complicated process than some were led to believe.
