‘If last week was a dummy run, what’s the excuse now?’ - How Sunak’s second reset of 2024 just made things markedly worse (Part . I)

With this week being the first ‘proper’ week back to Parliament for MPs, you could say that last week was a kind of dummy run for Sunak; a soft opening; a phased return of sorts where we - perhaps - should be more forgiving of his misfortune because he clearly needed time to get back into his stride. 

The problem with this argument is that most of Sunak’s misfortune was brought on by his own decision-making, incompetence, personality, and his own haphazard and unworkable policy.

So -

Sympathy. In short supply.  

Sunak could have just as easily remained in hibernation waiting to return this week but instead he chose to stick his head out of the hole only to be swatted down by the weight of his own sheer incompetence and exaggeration. 

This page has not been keeping score of the number of resets Sunak is up to now, incidentally, but an educated guess would suggest double figures. 

At least.
