I tore into the political class on Question Time last night, but I still want to know – why are our politicians so rubbish?

We are a country divided by Leave and Remain, yet united in our despondency and fatigue

Last night on BBC Question Time, an apt metaphor was given to describe the domestic Brexit negotiation thus far: two cars playing a game of chicken, driving into a head on collision – yet moving slower and slower as they approach.

Next chief executive Simon Wolfson’s sentiment certainly wasn’t wrong, but I would say the collision has already happened. Brexit is one colossal car crash.

It does not matter which side of the fence you sit. We can all agree that we are in a mess. We are a country divided by Leave and Remain, yet united in our despondency and fatigue.

We have become deeply dissatisfied and disillusioned with our MPs and their competency to deliver Brexit in a timely and organised manner. For indicative votes on the entire span of our Brexit options to be taking place two days before our original departure date from the European Union, and not two years before, can only be described as shameful.

This is a notion I put to the Question Time panel last night as I asked who was to blame. Labour's shadow Brexit minister Jenny Chapman and former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis were straight to the point in laying the blame firmly at the door of Theresa May and her government.

On the other side of the coin, the education secretary Damian Hinds said it was a failure of the entire political class. I dare say that I agree. Blame marinates the House of Commons and seeps through every pore.

Two years ago, there should have been a conscious and dignified attempt at cross party discussion to reach a consensus. Instead we have been subjected to watching a tragedy of ancient (and modern) Greek proportions. Historic defeats, political gamesmanship and outlandish statements that only show up our MPs as big kids throwing their toys out of the pram in the playground.

I am fully aware that the point of having Her Majesty’s Opposition is to act as an adversary to the incumbent government, but this issue has transcended party politics in a phenomenon rarely seen before. Jeremy Corbyn and company would be better served putting down their weapons momentarily and instead offering a genuine olive branch, rather than jostling for a general election.

The everyday person is fed up with Brexit constantly being on the agenda. It’s like having Woody the Woodpecker chip away at the back of your skull with his piercing, obnoxious laugh and his big, sharp beak – for over two years.

Today should have gone a long way to resolving this, or indeed marking our withdrawal at the very bare minimum. Instead our attention has been turned to another day of Commons proceedings that may as well have had the Benny Hill theme tune blaring in the background.

Amazingly Theresa May's Brexit deal made it to the pass for the third time. Two gigantic nails in the coffin evidently were not enough.

The only difference I could see this time was that the political declaration, which would set out the terms of our future relationship with the EU, seemed to have been lost in the post since the second “meaningful” vote. It is stunts like these that confirm parliament as a ludicrous circus act to the public.

What will come out of today? Well the deal has been defeated for a third time, which will inevitably lead to more uncertainly, more squabbling and, who knows, maybe even a Theresa May statement outside 10 Downing Street with another pitiful call to arms.

It is a far cry from where we expected to be come 29 March 2019.
