Brexit Metaphor No 115.
Britain's trade deal with the EU was going to be "the easiest in history" - the UK's international trade secretary Liam Fox said in 2017. However, he should have consulted with someone like Marcus Aurelius before saying this. Had he talked to a stoic, he would have discovered that "The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing", and the same goes for Brexit. Brexit hardly looks like a dance any more, now that there are only 46 days left until the Brexit date.
