The second reason is that while we are all heading in the same direction, and Brexit definitely will always mean Brexit, there are a few minor creases in the plan still to be ironed out.
The views of the 48 per cent on how to smooth those creases are no less valid, and the voices of prominent Rewhingers no less significant when it comes to tweaking the finer points of Brexit, now that we are all in this together.
Some people voted for a globalised, open, modern Britain with international ambitions beyond Europe. Others voted for us to all but halt inward migration. Some would like to retain freedom of movement, others are happy to sacrifice single market access to all but our financial services just to halt it. Minor creases, but issues to be addressed nonetheless.
Given that they are discrete, important features that were not on the voting slip, it would be foolish to suggest that they have been resolved. If being a Remoron means my opinion on these things counts for less, then that’s another basis for regret, but that shouldn’t be how it is.
