Crisis, what crisis?

No10: PM will begin a 3 week walking holiday on Monday - 5 days in Italy, 2 weeks in Swiss Alps (but no plans to think up another election).

That means that Theresa May is spending 3 percent of the 2 year EU exit period -- a clock that she chose to start -- on holidays. And that's just this summer's holidays, and after all the time that was lost to the futile election. Meanwhile the newspapers -- even the "serious" broadsheets -- have already shifted to silly season mode of royals, celebrities, and sport.

Brexit, like the Trump presidency, is a slow-motion in-progress disaster.
