Members of Parliament are tearing their hair out at the thought of the Withdrawal Agreement coming back to the House of Commons for a fourth time while the electorate in their utter frustration look set to vote for the Brexit Party in their millions in the European Elections. Leavers and Remainers are united on one thing: after three years, we’re all pretty bored with Brexit.

There can be no denying that our decision to leave the EU, and subsequent mismanaged attempts at carrying that out, has sparked an interest in British politics not seen in generations.
