No......... Just another Remoaner twisting in the wind.
“At the moment we [the Conservatives] are greatly helped by the principal Opposition being all over the place. They don’t have a coherent policy on Brexit. They have, to my mind, seriously flawed economic policies that would take this country to economic ruin very quickly, and have been shown to do just that in recent history, in my lifetime. So the prospect of a Labour government fills me with gloom, especially one under its current leader, who is a Marxist, there’s no doubt about it, and he’s surrounded by a group of Marxists, who will wreck the economy of this country very quickly, Brexit or no Brexit.”
Got to agree with some of what he says mind.

It might be prudent if Mr Grieve asked himself what exactly has changed that might make many (or any) of the 17m who voted to leave to change their minds. All that has happened is that the EU has suffered an overdose of its usual intransigence when the “negotiations” began and the UK government has foolishly given in to just about every one of its demands. Seeing the EU’s behaviour thusfar I cannot see how any Leavers would change their minds and many Remainers must be asking themselves that if they treat their members in such a way, who would want to belong to such an institution.
On top of that, it must be obvious to anybody who voted to remain in the belief that they were voting for the status quo that they were sadly and badly mistaken. The EU does not do the status quo and its announcements over the last eighteen months detailing its "exciting new developments" make it clear that moves towards a federal state are still very much part of the Euromaniacs' agenda.

I see what he means, but I can't work out what it would mean in practice if the majority of Brits changed their minds and decided it would be better to stay in the EU. A referendum has been held, so whatever people's mindset is now after 18 months is irrelevant.
I think his point is (to use an analogy), a patient in a hospital is demanding a treatment that he and a few other doctors and clinical supervisors think is wrong and may lead to otherwise unknown complications.

That position assumes that the British public would change its mind - which is a tall assumption.
It appears that those who did not approve of the vote will continue to argue that either the electorate was misled, or stupid, or both, and I do not believe that to be the case.
As a Brexit voter, I wanted to see an end to UK laws created and enforced by non-elected European bureaucrats, an end to unregulated immigration, and a cessation of the restrictions on UK trade with the free world.
I have seen and heard nothing to indicate to me that those requirements are not going to be met by the exit from the EU.
