Amazingly, this weekend’s newspaper front pages have been – almost – a Brexit-free zone.
The only stories to deserve the “splash” slot appeared in Saturday’s Financial Times, which reported that Warren Buffett was preparing to invest in Britain despite Brexit; and in Saturday’s Independent, which covered the Labour row about an election leaflet which failed to make mention of a second referendum on the UK’s withdrawal from the EU.
So, does this mean that Brexit fatigue is setting in? Certainly the prime minister has sought to argue that the British people are “tired” of Brexit – or at least, as she put it in her address to the nation last month: “You are tired of the infighting, tired of the political games and the arcane procedural rows, tired of MPs talking about nothing else but Brexit when you have real concerns about our children’s schools, our National Health Service, knife crime.”
