    what is this hard brexit of which you speak?

    to me it means acrimony and wto terms, not whether we escape the clutches of the ecj (inshallah!), or leave the great tariff wall, i.e. the customs union.

    no one [seeks] a hard brexit.

    So what is the end point now that May has sought a clearer mandate?

    That happened before the new and clearer mandate, didn't it? If so, what is this period following this renewed mandate? Post-end point? Does the new mandate change anything? If not, what was the point of seeking it?

    No, the election was intended to build a mandate based on that letter.
    This being a... logical response to the notion that no one knew what type of brexit we voted for last june.
