There is no possible scenario that doesn't end in a hard Brexit IMO. I suspect the PM knows this and is aiming for the hardest possible Brexit and taking as many hostages along the way as possible.
If they force us in to the hardest Brexit possible then they probably think only option is to reciprocate and try and create enough global negativity to reverse some of the decisions with the urgency necessary to avoid decades of litigation.
The sort of response I'm thinking is possible might be "ok, all EU citizens your benefits and access to healthcare will be stopped in 90 days" and then at the same time May says to the EU "we need a revision to WTO rules that saves the UK £1b which is what we are spending on the benefits and healthcare of EU citizens, and we need it in 90 days"
I reckon this is risky as fuck though and will ultimately, only benefit the trading block with the greater power - the EU
