You know things are Swipe (2017)bad when the Queen wades in.
But, that's pretty much what's happened as MPs continue to fight it out over Brexit, with no real resolution in sight.

Speaking at the Women's Institute in Sandringham, the Queen implored people to seek "common ground" and to respect other people's views. While she didn't explicitly refer to Brexit, royal experts say the Queen was undoubtedly "sending a message."
"As we look for new answers in the modern age, I for one prefer the tried and tested recipes, like speaking well of each other and respecting different points of view; coming together to seek out the common ground; and never losing sight of the bigger picture," said the Queen.

As the head of state, the Queen has to remain politically neutral and usually doesn't state her views on controversial issues. This might explain why she's not explicitly mentioned the word Brexit in her remarks.
This isn't the first time the Queen has appeared to comment on this particular issue. Her Christmas broadcast also appeared to touch on the "deeply held differences" that are defining the national mood at present.
"Even with the most deeply held differences, treating the other person with respect and as a fellow human being is always a good first step towards greater understanding," said the Queen on Dec. 25.
The BBC's royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell commented on the Queen's most recent allusion to Brexit.
"It is impossible to imagine that the head of state would use a construction of words such as this without it being appreciated that they would be seen as a reference to the current political debate," he said.
MPs: take note.
