This is one of those hilarious, discomfiting political surprises that a smugly confident opposition doesn’t see coming out of the woodwork and it is shaping up to be pretty daggum interesting.
For the past year, the Tories in the United Kingdom have done their level best to prove they were utterly and completely inept, and needed to be booted after 10 years in power, whatever frightening, over-the-top Labour policies loomed as alternatives. The sagging British ship of state was in such appalling bad shape and its citizens so thoroughly beaten down from half-baked management, ministerial upheavals, and economic blow after blow, that Labour’s lunacies – the only viable alternative at the time – were at least a known poison pill to be spat at and out once weak sister Rishi Sunak had vacated the Prime Minister’s residence.
Sunak made sure he would go out in flames, too. Extraordinary…
