Vernon Bogdanor in his article in the Guardian ‘Parliament has failed on Brexit long before prorogation’ hit the nail on the head when he concluded that parliament has not been the solution to the problem but the problem, and quoted Winston Churchill to illustrate the point brilliantly:

Parliament has shown itself not to be the solution to Brexit but the problem.

Never in the history of famous quotes by Churchill have his words been more apt!
