Brits have pledged never to go through the port of Dover again after long queues at customs made the journey intolerable.

The Mail’s chief revenue officer has said Brexit was bad for advertising – even though the brand has been one of the most vociferous backers of quitting the EU.

Williams is pushed to expand how Brexit has impacted business. “That is definitely having an effect on advertising spend, because of the UK economy,” he replies.

As crises mount, the polls show voters turning at last. But the national newspapers that backed Leave – even the two now edited by Remainers – continue to pretend there is nothing wrong.

If there was a vote to leave the EU tomorrow, only 36 per cent would vote out - compared to 52 per cent in 2016.

Former Conservative MP Sarah Wollaston has told The Independent she is too afraid to advertise meetings in public because of death threats and abuse – and said some of her former Tory colleagues are to blame for encouraging a culture of violent hostility towards politicians.

Right-wing newspapers have joined Brexiteers in venting their fury that Britain’s departure from the EU is not happening today.
