In news that might surprise precisely no one, the fifth round of Brexit talks came to an end this week with a stalemate the EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier called "disturbing".

Like the Fast & The Furious franchise, it looks like the negotiations will keep going and going until they eventually drive off a cliff, with Vin Diesel voicing his lament to the void.

If only there was an opportunity to step back for a minute and perhaps reconsider what we've got ourselves into.

Enter Jeremy Corbyn, he of Glastonbury chant-alongs and Wimbledon spectators' nightmares.

Possibly not the hero we deserve, but certainly better at sticking to his guns that the prime ministers' insistence that without a strong and stable Brexit deal we'd all be foraging for half-eaten Pret sandwiches in skips and bathing in nuclear waste chucked over by the French for a laugh, just because they can.

"I voted remain. I voted remain for good reasons at the time, but circumstances move on," May said in a recent interview with LBC radio.

Jezza, on the other hand, was more straight forward.

"There isn't going to be another referendum, so it's a hypothetical question but yes I voted Remain because I thought the best option was to remain, I haven't changed my mind on that."

Will we see some sort of progress soon? Or will the saga of Brexit negotiations be handed down from generation to generation, a near-mythic, sisyphean undertaking held to be as binding as the Magna Carta until the day that Britain crumbles into the sea?

Maybe we should let Malcolm Tucker and Alan Partridge debate it for real after all.
