Like many of you, I’m sure, the last three years, in terms of politics and the future of the UK, have been what we here at Reaction like to call sub-optimal.

If you are a Leaver, the problem is that, well, we haven’t actually left. A bit of a bummer, that. We’ve been stood at the exit for so long that Olly Robbins, our erstwhile chief negotiator, might as well have been issued with a uniform and drafted – appropriately enough, some would say – into the Corps of Commissionaires.

If, on the other hand, you are a Remainer, the last three years have gone from a bad decision, made at the height of a Ukip-inspired immigration scare, to the looming trauma of No Deal, in which, overnight, Britain becomes a European pariah.
