All The Talents

The Liberator of Libya, the Author of Austerity, the Brewer of Brexit, the Hapless Hummer of Humbug, welcome back the sad spectacle of David Cameron into the even sadder spectacle of what passes for the UK government. I note that I am not alone in thinking ‘Jesus Christ! What a washout!’ My (partial) successor in Morley, Dotty Dame Andrea Jenkyns MP has become the first Tory to publicly submit a letter of no-confidence in Rishi Sunak. That’s slashed her odds of becoming a Baroness by a mathematical impossibility (from 0 to less than 0). I don’t think the Dotty Dame will lead the Charge of The Right Brigade however, she doesn’t have enough ‘heft’ (a word carelessly bandied about re: a supposed quality of Cameron). No, I think ’Sir’ Jacob Rees Mogg will employ his considerable talents in this role, perhaps even reminding people who he is on his GB News slot. The government of what Sunak’s army of pre-Armageddon Wannabes no doubt imagines is an administration of All The Talents is in for a rough ride. This shouldn’t bother our PM of course—whatever happens to our richest ever Prime Minister, a warm Californian breeze will more than compensate. Meanwhile, in HM Opposition, will a former PM be recalled? Sadly Clement Attlee is unavailable.
