Brexit Metaphor No 154
If you wipe your wet face with a paper towel that is too thin, you will end up with pieces of paper stuck all over your face.
The UK's Withdrawal Agreement is one such thin paper towel. Britain was never going to be able to negotiate anything substantially better than this with the EU. And now that the UK Parliament has rejected this thin paper twice, its shreds are humiliatingly stuck to the face of the British prime minister - like an egg on her face.
How will she ever get out of this shambolic mess?
