But a significant number of leavers have changed their minds, almost certainly meaning a minority now think it was a good idea.

Well it had to - no benefits have been realised apart from the blue passport, which is less useful than the maroon one.

I think we know the deal is rotten.

The trouble is that negotiations to date have all been in the wrong direction so it's more scrapping than improving. Unless we want to continue the experiment, the best option is probably alignment which is where Starmer fans think/hope he is is heading, notwithstanding the staunch rejection of rejoining. The Tory nutters will froth at the mouth. Were the Conservatives to win the next election without any change in the party they would definitely turn a crisis into a total disaster. I look at Argentina with 90% inflation and see what these barrel scrapings are potentially capable of.
