Someone after my own heart, we do indeed need to deal with the consequences and move on. After all we haven't even been out for 2 years yet (you can hardly count 'The Transition Period).Just done the same. And agree, we along with everyone else here has to deal with the consequences and move on whatever we feel about it.
As you rightfully say, there are obviously a few consequences we need to deal with and probably the most pressing is finding a solution to the Northern Ireland Protocol which we put forward, negotiated, and signed off as a significant part of the Brexit deal and are now unable to implement.
Personally, I'm not sure Truss's plan to trigger Article 16, break International Law, ditch the Good deal that Johnson negotiated and leave us facing a Trade War with the EU is the best way to deal with consequences. I can't see that would help us move on in any way and would probably be a huge step backwards.
Maybe you have a suggestion for a solution for us to avoid this and allow us to move on. If we can resolve this then we can start to look at the issues with putting Import controls in place (JRM's Act of Self Harm, the big drama queen ), addressing the soaring Channel Immigration problem and getting a trade deal with the US.
Obviously this wouldn't deal with all the consequences but I'm sure if we could move on with these it would leave far less for people to moan about. Then we could concentrate on dealing with the economic consequences
