• What aim does dragging this out serve? Why is Cameron refusing to start the process? Surely it's best to get this over and done? I fear that this will drag on and on, like overtaking in a Renault Megane:

    “With a mere ninety break-horse-power available, progress is too leisurely to be called fast, but on the motorway in fifth gear the Megane’s slow pace really becomes a pain. Uphill runs become power-sappingly mundane, while overtaking National Express coaches can become a long, drawn-out affair.”

    A poison chalice to Johnson who has persistently eyed up his leadership and a scorched earth for the country for not following his lead on Remain.

    Also, by leaving it longer, parliament is in a better position to override the result of a referendum and making a formal declaration that we're not going to leave after all.
