No one else wants the job, and no one has a better idea of how to solve this riddle. We’re back where we were, an unpopular PM with no way to get her Brexit solution through the House of Commons.

The problem is that the referendum was a constitutional innovation in the UK, with no measures taken before the voting to bind the Crown in Parliament (the actual sovereign) to the result.

The House of Commons has a very large Remain majority, as I understand it, and they will never agree to any Brexit other than a fake one.

Labour must be laughing that this dud is kept in place.
