Instead of short media grabbing soundbite statements , why doesnt Europe and /or the opposition actually publish an actual counter plan to the one on the table .
The onus is on the UK to make an alternative plan. I would say it's specifically on the elected MPs who are making a big deal about saying the UK will have a trillion pounds in the bank in a few years etc etc to come up with it.

But they won't and for very good reason.

The EU wants the UK to stay, so their best tactic is probably to let the UK repeatedly punch itself in the face until it sees sense.
