"I think the truth is the argument about no-deal is just a re-hash of the debate about whether we want to remain or leave in the first place."

"With Brexit there is no point in talking about the electorate as a whole.

"We have two different electorates: we have a remain electorate and we have a leave electorate.

"Seventy five per cent of remain voters think that leaving without a deal is a bad idea and they oppose it. And around 75% of leave voters think that it is a good idea and they favour it.

"We're now seeing that divide remain/leave divide very, very clearly articulated in their preference for a general election."
