She did the sensible thing, a white paper.I wonder whether Theresa May is still a Remainer but is stuck now in going for hard Brexit,she is paranoid about controlling immigration and knows that to do so we have to exit the single market and customs union.
She ignores completely all the bad news from big employers such that nothing else matters except controlling immigration...I wonder what would happen if the boss of Nissan came out and said he is closing the Sunderland plant,I feel she will accept that as collateral damage.
There are some in the EU who are making noises that immigration control should be an EU decision and some mechanism introduced to achieve some degree of control.
Theresa May must be under considerable stress,she is a bright lady who must know that hard Brexit can only end in economic suicide but how does she get off this voyage to disaster and still keep her PM job....that is her dilemma.

I think the economic risks are real enough threats but overplayed by remainers.
The key point is non-tariff barriers affect mainly fintech, manufacturing can avoid most of the ill-effect.
