There is a kind of football commentary habit among opinion writers, in which they blame losers for everything that happens. But the responsibility for hard Brexit lies with - drum roll - hard Brexiters. And so do the consequences.

Sigh. I'll do this once I guess, because there is a bit of nonsense out there. Soft Brexit was never on offer. Not single market. Not customs union. Ever. So saying we could have had soft Brexit if Remainers had stopped trying to remain is completely deranged.

Still not on offer **as govt policy**, and cabinet had to stay out of it. And those votes were after a starting point from May that was so far from a mid-point losers’ consent starting point. Nuking FOM meant no SM – the very basis for soft Brexit.

May's red lines killed soft Brexit as an idea before it even had a chance to be born.

It represented the true values for Conservatives. The bait and switch was letting the referendum happen without explicitly ruling out FoM.

May put paid to it with her “citizens of nowhere” speech. At just when she should have compromised. A lot of the rancour over the last 3 years is on her for that moment.

She put paid to it even before then, with her "Brexit means Brexit" speech outside No 10 just after she became PM. A mistake of totally gargantuan proportions which ultimately put paid to her premiership as well.

I seem to recall on May’s deal being unveiled that it was too weak for the ERG mob and the DUP. Correct me if I’m wrong but weren’t they instrumental in consistently shooting it down?
