There is a non-zero chance that May is replaced by a hard brexiter and they insist, by will of the referendum, that a hard brexit must occur. You can see UKIP bubbling back up in frustration.

When you consider what a soft brexit is, it's genuinely nothing of what leave wanted. The UK still doesn't have a solid border between itself and the EU because of the Good Friday Agreement, the UK still had to pay the EU and follow it's regulations and for all that it gets zero say in the EU legislature.

So there is a real chance of a hard brexit and it's going to be very messy.

And the most likely candidate is Jacob Rees-Mogg "Honourable Member for the 19th Century":

18th Century according to the article linked -- which I'd say is more accurate.
Probably made that mistake because I went to a state school!
