The uncertain political mood in Britain is bad for my mental health

Imagine a life without Brexit? Hard to do, isn’t it? Ah, those halcyon days, when we didn’t have front-row seats to what, with each passing day, looks like the disintegration of a once-civilised society.

What a dampener it all is on the mood. There’s hardly been a day recently when the stress levels haven’t risen, that cortisol spike as you register the Brexit countdown clock, or the ‘Countdown to no-deal Brexit’ on the bottom of the screen, while you await the result of yet another Commons vote, and the inevitable tweet of reaction from some EU bigwig.
