If ever there were a metaphor for broken post-Brexit Britain, as well as the nonsense talked about Parliament taking back control, a crumbling Houses of Parliament is surely it.
As this report from a year ago indicates, the cost is staggering, and MPs are likely to have to vacate the premises for at least 19 years.

The sensible thing would be to build a state of the art venue in the middle of the country that is accessible, complete with accommodation. So fat chance of that happening. |  | | |

I love the way so many of our True British Patriots know so little about the building. To listen to a lot of them, it's the building Guy Fawkes tried to blow up.
It dates from the 1830s. The chamber of the House of Commons is post-war, having been damaged by a WW2 bomb.
It's a level of ignorance on a par with believing the Princess Elizabeth drove an ambulance during the Blitz, or that Michael Foot was the best labour Prime Minister. |  |
