Brexit fatigue

The Cabinet, Government, Parliament and country are suffering from extreme Brexit fatigue.

Nearly three years of constant Commons and Lords debate, endless media debate, hate speak and downright lies have taken their toll.

The country is taking a well deserved rest from it now that the day has been delayed to October 31. Or June 1st.

Thing is, UK has to make progress. or be seen to.

Or the EU could pull the plug, or park us in a dead end, as removed from EU institutions as possible, so we can as little damage to the remaining EU27.

Laws have been passed to allow the EU elections in May, May 23rd in fact, but as May is not known for keeping her word, of if she will even be PM then means that many companies are planning for another no deal cliff edge in six weeks or so.

All this takes money. Resources and storage space. Eating up profits, making it more likely that some will go to the wall sooner or later.

The EU will continue no deal preparations, making good use of the extra time the extension has given, while May and other politicians are already repeating the lines used since November, hoping that her WA will be voted through.

The Speaker will have to allow it first.

And the Brexiteers have hardened their opposition again in light of the extension, as has the DUP. As for Labour, who knows? Let's hope Corbyn actually picks a policy.

In the end, it is likely that fatigue and boredom will kill Brexit. Today Nigel launched his "new" Brexit Party, with new hidden sources of funding, but using the same old lies, and the 25 year serving MEP was rallying against career politicians without seeing the irony.

I am looking forward to a weekend of no Brexit to be honest.

I too am weary.
