Mold on your breakfast jam is a bad way to start the day. British Prime Minister Theresa May reportedly said she scrapes the mold off jam, which was quickly dubbed a perfect metaphor to describe Britain’s European Union departure plans. The British leader, who is a keen cook, reportedly told members in her top leadership team that instead of throwing out moldy jam, she scoops off the mold and eats what is underneath. “Unlike her jars of preserve, however, there are doubts about how easily she can dress up what’s left as tasty.”May is, of course, in a jam as she struggles to get a Brexit deal through Parliament. “Jeremy’s love of both making and consuming jam is well-known, and as such he personally never gets to the point of scraping or chucking mold,” his spokesman said.
