People like @michaelgove only have themselves to blame. They told the British people during the referendum that people voting for all the positives without the necessary pay-outs "that would be a great thing".
The PM has brought back the reality. What happens when "They buy more from them than they buy from us" turns out to be a slogan that doesn't quite work in practice, and when "German manufacturers will bang down Merkel's door" was just myopic nonsense.
In terms of our readiness to go about the Brexiteer vision of doing trade deals around the world, we're not even close, and we may still struggle at this rate to be fully ready by the end of the transition.
In terms of technology, in theory some of the problems that apply today will not apply tomorrow. The Brexiteers who had all that confidence in the technology can continue to look to that for a way in which we can modify this in the future.
Also, this isn't the greatest time to be focusing on trade regionality by following the policy the Brexiteers think will deliver for the UK. It's all a bit of a political mess out there in key markets and then there is what is going on with Trump and the WTO.
It's now time for Leavers to sit back and appreciate the positives of the Brexit as delivered. This is what you actually voted for when you decided that the risk was going to be worth it.
People who voted for this now have to own it, and as a Remainer, I don't feel like gloating about this. I'm looking at the technical issues as if this is it. This is what we've voted for, and this is what is now definitely going to happen. We are where we are.
Unless the planets align, this is our future, and this was the best we could come up with based on the red-lines that were set based on a series of slogans that did nothing to explain to people the trade-offs that would need to be made.
The message to everyone should be 'this is happening'. Complaining it wasn't what you expected is futile. It's time all sides looked at the inevitable positives and downsides of what Brexit actually is, only then can we have a positive, and respectful, debate. /End
