Unconvincing Denials and Cat Names

The Journal du Dimanche newspaper reported that France’s Europe Minister, Nathalie Loiseau, wrote this on her private Facebook page.

I've ended up calling my cat Brexit. It wakes me up meowing like crazy every morning because it wants to go out, but as soon as I open the door, it just sits there undecided and then looks angry when I put it outside.

First she tried to deny this but now she says she did write it but it was a joke. I suppose that would fall under "many a truth is spoken in jest."
