How to spin an election result.

[Burney]

I accept all of that but I think the reality is that the only way we end up leaving the EU is via the referendum I described. It's the only way to give parliament the clear message that the people want to leave and they are happy to do so under no deal and that they prefer it to Remain.

Anything else will not bring the clarity we need to force parliament to do it.

I don't think Remaining permanently is a valid option, though. You could argue that we might be allowed to vote between No Deal and the ongoing pursuit of alternative options via extensions, etc, but not remain.
