I liked the question on social media this morning.

Simple question, is Brexit today the same Brexit put to the electorate at the referendum 2 years ago? Obviously millions of our electoral no longer believe so, in which case that vote is no longer valid.
We need a vote on what we are being offered in 2018 NOT what was promised in 2016.to confirm or reject Brexit

Remainers welcome ECJ expert's view that UK can abandon Brexit

European court of justice’s advocate general says article 50 can be revoked without needing permission of all EU members

In other words we can revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU on the same terms as now - not in the euro, nor in Schengen, and having a good rebate.

This is not yet official but the ECJ accepts the Advocate General's advice in about 80% of cases.
