According to Theresa May ‘Brexit means Brexit’. But the clock is ticking, negotiations have not been going well, the government is at odds with itself and has not set out a clear vision of Brexit, and there is talk of preparing for a ‘no deal’ outcome.
In this situation can an alternative ‘progressive Brexit’ be formulated? And can it be achieved?
