The article highlights the different options available. Clearly, the EU continues to hold the stronger negotiating position.

Personally, I have very little confidence that Theresa May‘s government will conclude a good deal.

For me, there’s still a good chance of a very hard Brexit or a very soft Brexit. Either way, there’s a probability of a Marxist government in No. 10.

Sadly, those most at risk just ignore the prevailing evidence and continue to abuse themselves.

Why should the majority continue to support the minority who fail to take proper care of themselves?
