Scraping mould off jam can mean scrapping Brexit

By George ILIEV
Brexit Metaphor No 123. 

Scraping mould off jam appears to be one of Theresa May's few hobbies. If the jam is the EU (which has been providing sugar and fruit for the British economy for over 40 years) and the mould is Brexit (which has been festering for 2.5 years now), then surely scraping the mould equals stopping Brexit.

What do you do with a mouldy cake then? Eat it or have it, it is mouldy anyway. So perhaps give it to Boris Johnson to have and to hold until Brexit us do part.
