The government aren't prepared for Brexit in the least. They did not foresee what would happen at all. A prime example is that we have no trade negotiators, all our trade negotiations were carried out by the EU, we didn't need any. Now we need a lot. May is in the impossible position of trying to reconcile business which wants the free market with xenophobic, vocal, Brexiteers and tabloids who don't want any more East Eiropean migrants.
