At some point, it will become painfully obvious that yet more flag waving and bombast will not be enough.
(And anyone with a decent grasp of history will tell you that flag waving and bombast was certainly not enough in those supposedly glorious Elizabethan, Victorian and World War II times beloved of Brexiteers: drudgery and attention to detail always mattered.)
The two texts of the first working day of Brexit – the European Union detailed proposals and the Prime Minister’s Greenwich speech – are the first two moves for the next phase.
And one shows serious preparation for what happens next, and the other shows none at all.
Hard Brexit or Accept the EU terms. In either case we are not taking back control.
