    I think he means 5 months. Until the next election.

    Or until they bring the country to its knees again, enough people see sense and it all comes full circle and the nasty Tories are voted in to fix the mess.

    Brillo, totally agree

    and that's the root of the problem, and what has contributed to this whole mess, along with the hard core Brexiters not accepting the position, "the majority of those who voted Brexit were not voting Brexit. They were registering a protest vote at inequality", and then the PM going feet first for a hard Brexit

    perfect storm

    I still maintain the UK is heading for a "Switzerland" model, but the DUP alliance complicates the picture and the UK may end up inside the customs union. Inside the customs union you still arrange your own trade deals, it's just the EU have to sign off.

    The UK are getting very fed up with the ruling classes who don't care about the vast majority of the population. And the EU got caught in the crossfire.

    I am still wondering what will happen next! Would be fascinating if not for the fact that the UK will suffer.

    The only thing we can be sure of is that the rich-poor gap will widen.

    Your thoughts on what happens next?

    well, what to say, we used to sit at the top table in the EU, we had the best conditions of all the members of the top table and then we said we'd leave

    what do we expect ?
