I think any pro-Brexit MP / minister will not be able to accept this and will be considering his / her position. Of course the NI minister went for other reasons. Ive read their resignation letters....sad stuff!!

I think there are some rules re 1922 committee and administration and number of letters needed, meaning this cannot be done till Monday onwards. (If I'm right)

Re: Brexit Draft Agreement

It occurs to me that this deal takes us back to where we started in 1973 - an ongoing European customs union looks very like the "Common Market" which most voters agreed to join back then.
Just a thought

Sorry John, this is not wrong. This is a BREXIT road map - as per the title of the document. Its also been published by the BBC. Its a sort of 'conditional map' or 'logical tree' leading to certain conclusions. I suppose to be pedantic you could add a step to it saying that after the referendum a BREXIT vote could still be the 'peoples choice' as one of the logical steps.

A 'BREMAIN' road map (my word) would have the extra steps under the word 'referendum' leading to us not leaving the EU after all. But this would be an option that was killed if a previous condition to Brexit was met.

In the event of a second referendum, the questions need to have been decided, that would be a tough one to get on the 'ballot paper' now.

I posted this as I found it a useful and clear document and thought I'd share
