Great tea debate

ThE TV companies are wrangling over whether the Brexit debate should be staged on the same evening as Strictly or I’m A Celebrity. They should take heed of the research that people stop watching immediately after the end of a popular TV show.

The National grid knows this, and ensures supplies are increased at half-time during the FA Cup Final when the nation puts the kettle on.

No one would want their conversation about the quality of the contestants who have survived the vote on Strictly or I’m A Celebrity to be interrupted by a Brexit debate!
