What is the answer?
I'm not being disingenuous - what exactly can we do?
Very difficult to say. In so many ways it is too late now.
But yes, Rejoin Single Market- but it will take a long time, and this Governement will never be able to do it now. They have burnt their bridges, and shot their reputation and standing into oblivion (and that of the UK with them).
Only a new Party, hopefully a coalition between Labour and others - will be able to say 'sorry, that was not of our making- how can we sort this mess sensibly and in good faith'- Johnson or anyone linked to ERG would never be able to do this now.
There were solutions, many proposed by EU, all turned down by Johnson. And then they signed - despite all the warnings by experts in all the relevant fields to 'get Brexit done' and avoid Tax Directives scrutiny for themselves and mates- knowing full well the price to pay for the people of UK would be massive and would sell down the fishermen, the farmers, the financial sector, our internationally linked industries and more.
So no, there are NO easy solutions in the current situation.
