Brexit Metaphor No 59
When an electric kettle reaches boiling point, it switches off.
When the Brexit Kettle reaches boiling point any day now, it will shut down; the bubbles of hot gas will stop forming; and the delirious madness of the Leave camp will be "brought under control" instead of their frenzied goal of "taking back control" (possibly even in the run-up to a second referendum). The options for Brexit are now so clearly inferior to the UK's current arrangement with the EU that it is almost unthinkable how a civilised country like Britain could end up leaving.
So, long story short, the Brexit Kettle has been calling the Remain Pot black for 2.5 years but soon the Brexit Kettle will simply have to call it quits.
