To think again

The European Court of Justice has given us a way out of the impasse over Brexit. The government should immediately revoke our Article 50 notice on the basis that the deal now available is entirely unacceptable.

We do not need a second referendum for that purpose. Parliament is perfectly entitled to say that there is no consensus either in the House or in the country at large as to how to effect our departure from the EU.

We should also announce that the 2016 referendum result will be honoured at a future date when circumstances permit us to obtain a more favourable exit. We then resume full membership and await events.
