    Not anytime soon. Brexiters still blame the gov for not doing it right.

    They still think 3 years of failing to negotiate a decent deal. Was the fault of to loud remainers encoraging the EU that we would quit if they were tough on us. Unfortunately any attempt to rejoin will face the same lies and bull the referendum did.

    Any willingness the EU shows to allow even minimal acceptance of our previous benefits. Will encourage them to fight for the same bull they wanted before. All the advantages non of the costs.

      We could have had EFTA, but after the referendum the media only focussed on the extremists from both sides. The Leavers who wanted to leave absolutely everything, and the Remainers who just cried about the result and demanded a second referendum.

      Meanwhile the sensible majority, who were somewhere in the middle of those two extremes didn’t get a look in. So we ended up with a bit of nothing.

        That, unfortunately, is how both sides want it. Those pro EU and those anti, neither want to compromise. The papers simply provide them with kindling.
