Well, at this point, who knows? We might be getting May's deal, given the Brexit ultras in her party are now sufficiently scared they won't get Brexit at all at this point, and Farage is trundling around continental Europe, begging far-right governments to block an Article 50 extension? At this point, we're boxed into a corner where the only options are revocation (oh, please, let it be so), or May trying again with her deal and scaring/bribing the extremists in her party and the DUP into compliance.

As a non-EU migrant who became a British citizen in May 2016, and received my passport on the morning after the referendum (literally, I woke up, heard the result, and heard the noise of my passport being posted through the door), I'm finding the prospect of having my free movement rights taken away essentially on the day I received them (the past three years having been a kind of borrowed time), after I paid thousands of pounds to the Home Office, sent them various visa/citizenship applications, some of them totally more than 100 pages, one which was held — along with my passport and visa — for six months, profoundly upsetting. I can't bear the idea that something I wanted so badly, which to my non-EU migrant eyes is the most incredible gift and unearned privilege, is being thrown away like garbage by people who were never going to use it in the first place.
