Exasperation with those "remainers" trying to derail the referendum leave decision would be an understatement!
The UK voted to leave the EU in an in or out referendum.
It was clearly understood by the wider electorate who were massively engaged with the referendum debate that the following were true :
The governments mandate is to get the best economic deal they can providing they deliver on control of our borders and laws. We must trust them to do it. They have our prerogative to do so.
There is a ludicrous and cynical call that the terms for leaving should be voted on by parliament before negotiation. How can that work? Are people saying unless we get a particular economic deal we have to stay in the EU?
There is an equally ludicrous and deeply cynical and manipulative call for parliament to vote on the terms on which we ultimately leave the EU. This is clearly part of agenda to stall or undermine the democratic decision of the people to leave the EU. Some MP "remainers" believe they know better and do not have the good grace to accept the decision and move on. If they get their way why would the EU offer us anything other than dreadful terms. It is so illogical.
We are leaving to control our own laws, borders and money. We will try and do a trade deal with the EU from this red line. If we do not get a deal we will have to revert to WTO rules and there will be some economic pain - that is understood and a price we have clearly indicated we are prepared to pay.
Personally I am far more optimistic. I fully believe the benefits of engaging with global trade will quickly offset loss of EU markets. I fully believe our nation will be stronger by standing on our own two feet.
Fortunately the Theresa May government have got the electorates message. Some "remainers" have to show good grace and accept the fully democratic referendum result and engage with process rather than trying to undermine it. The Liberal Democrats/Clegg and people like Miliband, Nicky Morgan and Anna Soubry are so out of tune with the electorate and are not listening.
PS - increasingly opposition MP's are caricaturing BREXIT as a Tory project and that the referendum was only called to satisfy a Tory rump. This is both ridiculous and totally disingenuous. The PEOPLE wanted a vote - it was long overdue. As many "Tory" MP's campaigned to stay as leave. It was the PEOPLE who voted for Brexit. Both remainers and leavers stated unequivocally that voting to leave the EU was a vote to leave the single market (and therefore with inherent economic risk). Those that are now arguing while they respect the referendum decision the form of Brexit was never discussed are LYING. It was stated clearly. The PEOPLE understood a desire to control our laws, money and borders could only be achieved outside the single market. That is what we voted for! It was NOT an economic decision. They voted to demonstrate they valued their freedom and nationhood as more important than money.

It was clearly understood by the wider electorate who were massively engaged with the referendum debate that the following were true :
- Terms of being part of the single market requires free movement of labour and being subject to EU laws.
- Leaving the single market carries significant economic dangers.
- No one argued or expected that the UK economy would immediately grow as a result of leaving the EU.
- The only way to control our borders and for our own laws to be paramount is to leave the single market.
The governments mandate is to get the best economic deal they can providing they deliver on control of our borders and laws. We must trust them to do it. They have our prerogative to do so.
