Did love this tweet about Brexit. Probably the best analogy I've seen:

Brexit fast becoming a holiday which half the family didn’t want to go on and now the car is stuck in a traffic jam and mum and dad are arguing over the map
we seem to have been around the same roundabout a dozen times and its name is customs arrangement
and now someone has suggested a board game
they are arguing over the map because no one brought the map
dad keeps saying how everyone will love Pontins when they get there, it was great back in the day
the first drops of rain are starting to fall
the holiday, like every holiday in the history of holidays, has been more expensive than anticipated
and the cry goes up from the back:
are.
we.
nearly.
there.
yet?
Labour are the family next door who are also going to Pontins which is puzzling when they supposedly don’t like Pontins
it will be dark in a couple of hours
the “transition period” involves a lengthy stay at the Watford Gap service station while dad struggles to change a tyre
mum is silently contemplating divorce but fears the alternative could be worse
one of the kids is googling “Abilene Paradox”
the backseat driving has begun
Dave, who lent the brochure, isn't coming on the trip
the car has no brakes
the kids want cake even though they’ve eaten the cake
