Leaving the SM and CU was a given, if we left EU. It's an automatic, unavoidable, consequence of invoking #Article50 to leave EU.
Also, we couldn't start negotiating joining the SM or creating a CU, until we'd invoked #Article50. So, we'd be leaving EU w/o knowing if we'd get back into SM or a CU.

Yes and no.
I can see paths from a Leave victory in the referendum that didn't lead to invoking #Article50, but they would have required honesty and courage, two things Westminster is, and was, desperately short of.
So, in that way, it was inevitable, once the referendum result was in.
So stupid.

Do you remember the 'hostile environment' policy?
And that awful press conference in Florence, just after triggering Article50?
She is a truly horrible person.

As #Brexit escapees, our #EU #Schengen permits allow us to move around #Europe with an extraordinary sense of freedom and belonging. #Article50 healthcare inc. We treasure our identity as europeans even as 3rd class #UK citizens. Greetings from #Italy, Lake Garda. #RejoinEU

If Ministers didn't read treaties it's a bit harsh to expect someone from LeedsEurope to have discovered that Article50 meant FoM was going by default....... 😉

But that's not what went down. The EU stayed at a respectful distance, allowing UK to figure Brexit out on its own.
It only provided information about what the consequences of UK withdrawing from the EU would be, and debunked lies told about it.
It then respected UK invoking #Article50 to leave.

Quitters had no truer stooge than him in their quest for #NationalFailure. They weaponised the Cult of Corbyn. Moreover, he was rabid for immediate #Article50 before ANY Gov't member could be dragged from their hiding places as the UK descended into chaos on 24/06/2016.

He was virtually the poster-boy of the Leave campaign! Where he led, the Cult of Corbyn followed.

Corbyn wanted article50 (?) lodged the day after the vote - and I'm sure his comment was recorded somewhere, online. Before that, he was MIA

I agree - Corbyn doesn't change his spots! The same guy who couldn't wait to invoke article50, will not move a centimeter closer to the EU.

No.
They'd still have had to invoke #Article50 and that would have left the UK outside all treaties. No SM, no CU, and no FoM.
It _might_ have been possible to negotiate us returning to one or more of those, after leaving, but not a sure thing - any MS could have blocked it. So, a leap of faith.

True, but we also can't allow ourselves to be taken out again without a clear majority in favour.
So I was thinking along the lines of enforcing a referendum no more than 12/24 months before triggering article50, with a minimum 60 or 70% threshold requirement either way.

It was meticulously hidden from voters what the possible outcomes of Brexit was, not the least because the campaign was an unholy alliance of groups with directly conflicting goals, so the only way a unified campaign was possible was by staying away from anything happening after invoking #Article50.

🤓 Clarification for those who don't know or can't be arsed to look it up:
A50 #Article50 is the rule members invoke to end their EU membership.
A50 helpfully clarifies that #Article49 is the _only_ path back for a member that has left the EU.

Article 50 fines hit 3% turnover as Cinchy CEO says disclosure isn't enough
Article 50 binds tomorrow with fines up to 15 million euros or 3% turnover. Cinchy's CEO says the harder question is tracking what AI systems did after acting.
