LONDON – According to the metaphors of Brexit, it's up there.
British Prime Minister Theresa May was reported to have demolished the mold, which was quickly described as a perfect metaphor for Britain's plans for Britain's departure for the European Union.
The British leader, who is a savvy cook, reportedly told members of her senior management team that instead of throwing moldy jam, she gets rid of the mold and eats what is underneath. What's left is perfectly edible, she would have said. His point of view was expressed during a discussion about food waste, according to the Daily Mail.
The comments sparked a lively debate between collectors and collectors. It's Britain, a place that cares deeply about its canned fruit.
It also took a short time before comparisons were made with Brexit. The Daily Mirror has dubbed it "Jamgate" and said it was the "perfect metaphor" to describe May's attempt to "cleanse a moldy Brexit".
"She is still trying to clean the" safety net "of her 585-page contract on Brexit, rather than give up and get a new one," the paper said. "Unlike her canned jars, there are doubts about how easily she can dress what's left as good."
May is of course at a standstill as she fights for an agreement on Brexit in Parliament. Britain is about to leave the bloc in just 44 days and if nothing changes, it will leave without an agreement, which could lead to food shortages.
Jamgate is one of the metaphors used for Brexit. There was a time in Berlin when May found herself stuck in a locked car door under the look of German Chancellor Angela Merkel: it was a rainy December day and May's door did not move for a few seconds. "I can not go out!" Was the caption on the front page of Sun newspaper the next day.
The cake is frequently used as a metaphor to talk about Brexit. Conservative lawmaker Tobias Ellwood reportedly commented on the postponement of Brexit when he allegedly tweeted a photo of his son with a cake baked for 30 minutes, longer than the instructions. "It was an important decision: to honor the recipe book or take more time to get the right result," he tweeted.
Cooked a banana cake yesterday. Tell my son he will be ready in 20 minutes – according to the cookbook.
It took 30.

Others have used more dramatic descriptions to describe the Brexit. Boris Johnson, a leading figure in the Brexit campaign, once said, "Brexit means Brexit, and we're going to make it a titanic success. A disaster of the Titanic. "
It's unclear how long Jamgate will have sticky power, but lawmakers Wednesday weighed in.
Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the opposition Labor Party, who makes his own jam and is busy allocating funds, said he did not share May's scraping habits.
"His love for making and eating jam is well known and, as such, he never gets to the point of demolishing or unmolding," his spokesman said.
