"In the light of increasing evidence of the harm that Brexit promises to cause to this country" - MGOH

What evidence? So far we've had a catalogue of predictions of which none have come to pass.

Yesterday it was reported that Angela Merkel is now being told that Germany must make a deal with the UK and ignore calls from France to "make Britain pay" for having the temerity to vote to leave the EU. At the moment it is basically the German economy that is keeping the Eurozone afloat and Merkel has been warned that if Germany loses her trade with the UK then Germany will no longer be capable of keeping the Euro afloat.

Simple fact is there are a number of "hawkish" leaders of European countries who have to face elections before Brexit happens, Merkel and Hollande are but two of them. Somehow Jean-Claude Juncker has to keep the wheels on the bus because after those national elections in Europe there might be a queue of countries triggering Article 50.
