BREXIT

But some Remainers privately see a transition as a way of thwarting Brexit, possibly by putting the UK into a holding pattern close to the EU until voters realise that the “Norway option” leaves Britain in the worst of all worlds. Matthew Parris, the former Conservative MP who is pro Remain, wrote in this week’s Spectator magazine that Brexiters were right to be worried. “Suspect a plot by my lot to procrastinate until you lot slip out of vogue,” he wrote. “Deadlines for any ‘transition’ can be put back until kingdom come. Allow us to lure you into these thickets and you lose.”
