It's a bit rich whining on about Brexiteers taking umbrage all time when we're subject to a diet of this sort of thing on a daily basis in spite of the referendum result. The 'letting go' has to be done by those who lost the vote not the other way around.
He's not ceasing to let it go. He's analysed the situation and has said that no Brexit is a possibility. I can't see why anyone could be offended by someone talking in theoretical terms. HS2 may never happen. Heathrow airport expansion may never happen. I think all three will happen but I can't see any offence in mentioning the possibility however slim. Our forefathers fought for freedom of speech and we shouldn't ban politicians from espousing views that we personally disagree with unless they incite others to commit crimes etc.

Now what we're seeing is the losing side refusing to accept it and trying every trick in the book to overturn the result. That is perfectly clear and utterly reprehensible.
We will have to disagree on this. In my opinion, neither side were angels but the Leave campaign were guiltier with blatant factual lies whereas the Remain campaign talked about what might happen.
If the country does continue to change its mind in 2019 when the deal is announced (and currently 54% are in favour of remaining) it does put politicians in an impossible situation.
