The significant change of circumstances is the deal is not passed

Conservative won general election with 42%
Labour at general election with 40%

That's 82% voting for brexit manifestos.
We've moved on from the referendum.

To even talk about ref2 is absolutely ridiculous.

People had the chance to vote lib Dems in the election to stop brexit at the beginning and no one did.
