The Lying Brexiteer Liars and the Lies they tell...

2. The idea of a "hard" Brexit was dismissed by many of the Leave campaign's leaders.

They variously talked about remaining in the Customs Union and "having our cake and eating it".

Their propaganda insisted any withdrawal would be orderly and planned, and that full preparations would be made before Article 50 was triggered.

May triggered Article 50 seemingly on the spur of the moment, to quell unrest among the ERG and other headbangers and look like her government was actually doing something.

Hell mend them, the Opposition, with notable exceptions, voted in favour of it.

May set her stark red lines of "ending freedom of movement" front and centre.

Those red lines meant that any idea of a formal trade relationship with the EU through the Customs Union etc. was a non-starter.

"Ending freedom of movement" is the only promise they look like being able to deliver on after three gruelling, pointless years, and even then it only applies to EU citizens, which probably isn't what some of the worst of the Leavers were hoping for.
