In a move that surprises no-one, ECJ agree that Brexit is reversible. Unlikely to be sufficient for cogito though.

You should read the article before making yourself look foolish.

So we have this big lump of stone called Brexit sat in the elastic band of the national catapult. All May's energy and stubborness has gone into pulling on the elastic and drawing that stone closer to her, the EU and a de facto Remainer stance.

What's gonna happen when she lets go of the elastic?

My guess will be that its voted down in parliament first time round. She goes back to the EU who then give some tiny concessions and they vote again..

I have absolutely no idea from there on, leave with no deal, election, stay in or another referendum??????????????????????????????????????????????????

I don't think the EU will concede anything. Mays deal getting voted down leaves us with:
Trying to get an extension or
WTO brexit or
Remaining.

Any of which will be a disaster in some capacity.

Nah I read it and took "has been told" as "has told". My bad. I'm clearly not getting enough sleep so I'm going to duck out for a while.

I haven't read this one fully yet but it seems to be pointing at more brexit remorse as well as making a claim that ending free movement isn't actually what people want:

Completely agree, stay, leave, whatever happens there will be huge divisions that may take generations to heal...

Or as is the case elsewhere in Europe. A rise in support for right wing parties. Le Pen is now more popular than Macron in France. Dark clouds on the horizon.

Only 26% of French voters turned out in the last presidential election and most of those who voted for him only did so because his name isn't Le Pen or because the other presidential candidates were corrupt (allegedly). Even the hopeless Hollande had higher approval ratings.

France is almost ungovernable. The French vote for a set of policies and then riot when the president tries to introduce them. They really love the corporate statism even if it strangles economic development.
