Everyone’s making a mug of Grant Shapps after he posted this pic of him reading Theresa May’s Brexit deal
Never let it be said that former Tory party chairman Grant ‘two names’ Shapps hasn’t read every single page of Theresa May’s Brexit agreement.
Just in case anyone was in any doubt, he posted this picture on Twitter.
VERDICT: after 585 pages & copious cups of coffee, this #WithdrawalAgreement looks v. problematic. £39bn to get out of Europe, but run by Europe. -To support this, requires 2 key changes. 1.Unilateral method of leaving backstop. 2.Future trade deal fleshed out beyond flimsy 7 pgs pic.twitter.com/tKDHWjYb9H

Except, not for the first time when it comes to Shapps, there was something not quite right about it, and these people weren’t slow to spot it.

Can you not use the same mug?

I, too, like to drink copious cups of coffee at home, using a different mug for each serving https://t.co/gHttefCZrN

The mugs look very clean given all the coffee. Have you found the time to do the washing up too?

Ah, dishwasher broken. Part from Germany. Has required two weeks and counting. And that’s before Brexit!

So rather than just using the same cup to have the same drink and then washing it once you’re done with your coffee, you’d rather give yourself 10 mugs to wash by hand?

Ironically, this is a perfect analogy for Brexit too..

Saw all those mugs and mistook it for a cabinet meeting.

“Belinda, please can you get out all the mugs out of the cupboard?”
“Why?”
