No-one knows, as it's never been tested in law.

It's possible that, after 18 months of negotiations, the UK Government decides that any deal it's going to get is unpalatable and decides to remain in the EU. What the EU could or would do in that situation is unknown.

There's certainly a school of thought that suggests if it all ends up a complete mess, and we 'fess up to the EU, then it could indeed be stopped. But it would need someone with balls, as politically it's a major intervention. Can you see anyone doing that?

Not Corbyn then.

Not currently, no. But at some point the realisation that a new Anglophone trading block is a pie in the sky idea and will not happen might, just might, cause the grown ups in the room to pause and think about what's best for the country.
