Is it too late for a U turn on Brexit or at least watering it down?

We oldies need to admit we got it wrong about leaving the eu, we are putting our young family members future at risk. Unity is now priority

The deep concerns by commerce, industry & farmers on our economy and hard times ahead should not be lightly dismissed.
The horrors of this week have highlighted the need for much closer unity with our neighbours in Europe. We cannot gamble on a hard Brexit to resolve differences, we need to stop and rethink how we can resolve our differences without the extremism of Brexit. Is it too late or can we save ourselves from a possible disaster? To do otherwise could be taking a gamble we just cannot afford to take on our young families future.

I am not prepared to leave it to Teresa May and trust her hard Brexit colleagues. Therefore I shall not vote for her type of Brexit.

British people have changed their minds on Brexit, poll finds

That was it but I think someone may already have linked it. Bed-time I think confused

I agree but sadly the Eurosceptic government doesn't get it.

Both Conservative and Labour in Parliament are agreed to leaving the EU (Andrew Marr Show on Sunday, asked both Keir Starmer and Philip Hammond about this.)
There won't be another referendum on it.
We will leave the single market.All other options are negotiable.

We have a sibyl in our midst. Surely anything is possible until it isn't and we haven't reached that point yet.

Both Conservative and Labour in Parliament are agreed to leaving the EU (Andrew Marr Show on Sunday, asked both Keir Starmer and Philip Hammond about this.)

Firstly: They are both following the Party line. They have to.

Secondly: They are deliberately 'spinning' the result when, I'm sure, they both know very well that a huge part of Labour's success was a protest vote against the tory cuts and proposed privatisation of the NHS

Thirdly: In most constituencies, if you were against the tory cuts and wanted to cast a meaningful vote, one had no choice but to vote Labour; it was too risky to hope for a massive Liberal surge. (sorry, varian)

Essentially, for Remainers, it's like living in a nightmarish Brexit dictatorship with the views of almost half the voters not being taken into consideration..
