    Ha.

    If you have any familiarity with what the EU have said, consistently throughout the whole process you will be aware that the Labour Manifesto ask for cake, and it cannot have cake.

    Of course. That doesn't dictate a 'hard "Brexit"', though. As I've previously asked about and subsequently concluded, I don't think Labour really have a plan the EU would find acceptable, either. It still doesn't dictate a 'hard "Brexit"', it just means that a putative Labour government approached the EU with this idea, they would probably run up against a brick wall just like Theresa May has done. Theresa May hasn't triggered a hard 'Brexit' yet, so why would Labour?

    Clutching at straws with this sentence doesn't change the fact that there are plenty of things in there that explicitly rule out a hard 'Brexit': rejection of a 'no deal' scenario, etc.

    Clutching at straws now means "to take at face value"?

    I completely retract my accusation of Sophistry Oliver, you can speak only the unvarnished truth.
