Ever since the Brexit vote in June 2016, many of us pro-Europeans have had to live with a dilemma. This parliament turns out to be no more able to pass a soft Brexit than to pass a harder one, like May’s. Soft Brexit was the least worst Brexit option. Now, last-minute backbench attempts to craft a soft Brexit, led by Nick Boles and Stephen Kinnock, have failed. So soft Brexit must now be added to no-deal Brexit and May’s Brexit on the political scrapheap of the past three years.
