As a young speechwriter I wrote the following line for a Labour Leaderā€™s Conference Speech:

ā€œYou can delay the peopleā€™s choice. You will not change the peopleā€™s verdict.ā€

It came to mind when I read this. šŸ‘‡

My working assumption is that yet another failed prime minister hasnā€™t a clue what to do and his major achievement for the UK will be, like that of Johnson and Truss, his resignation honours.

The self harm & damage caused by this utterly deranged British government is extraordinary & shameful & makes the UK appear to be run by the Stupid Party. What a catalogue of failure for 13+ years.

This story tells you more about how out of touch many Conservative Party members are than anything else: GB News is the BBCā€™s biggest rival for Conservative members

This thread is worth a read from @gavinbarwell. Part of the problem is Sunak seems to think slogans - ā€œStop the Boatsā€ - miraculously appear as policies. Yes he inherited the Brexit-Johnson-Truss disaster, but he also inherited a party out of step with reality.

Alternatively the Sunak government could actually try doing something useful. (Sorry. I realise thatā€™s very unlikely. )

It will be fascinating to hear Rishi Sunak and other Brexit advocates defend their Brexit disaster at the next election. What will they claim as the benefits? A pint bottle of wine? Queues at EU border control? Boris Johnsonā€™s rise to
Power? Liz Truss ā€¦?
