I am astonished at the continuing casualness with which government ministers deal with Brexit. I doubt whether anyone has any real idea of what the consequences of this decision are going to be, but a serious period of stagflation, possible civil unrest and the break up of the UK all appear to be on the cards. Yet ministers appear to be unable to agree things even among themselves let alone with anyone else.
Just as a reminder how close to the wire we now are here is Robert Peston's explanation.
UPDATE
This morning a Survation poll saying that the public are now 54%/46% against Brexit. Unless it is an outlier, that raises the interesting prospect of Theresa May taking us off the cliff into Brexit against the wishes of the majority and with disastrous consequences. In which case, it might well finish the Conservative Party for good.
