Spot on. Same with the IMF and the CBI and all the so called 'experts' who called it wrong. Now we have them all back - telling us their latest ideas on what is going to happen. Pass the popcorn.
It usually helpful to provide the source for quotations. Unattributed or unattributable sources are just noise and prattle. The key point however from the second quote is that Brexit has not yet happened.
Putting it in context.
1. A sizeable minority of the UK population were allowed vote in a non binding referendum. People who might have been expected to have a major interest... UK people residing on mainland Europe, were excluded..
2. The wafer thin majority voted for brexit.. on some ill-defined premise. 52 to 48 is hardly conclusive.
3. The government concurred and sent a letter to the EU
4. There have been a succession of meetings since, where the EU has sought to find out how the UK is going to meet its obligations on leaving. That culminated in a farce two weeks ago where maybe half the cabinet publicly disagreed with what your prime minister had agreed to. The result of this is a total lack of trust on the EU side and a demand that what has been agreed, by your elected leader has the force of law.
5. There have been no discussions to date on the future relationship .
