‘They should have all been sacked’ - It’s almost normal and perhaps even accepted that the government will experience a breakdown at least three times a week at this point
Easter recess was anything but quiet for Rishi Sunak.
Last week, there was once again a palpable sense that the government was coming apart at the seams. Whether anyone really took note remained uncertain, given the prevailing disengagement with the Conservative Party and its ongoing political manoeuvres.
Several - massive - things happened: a party enveloped with scandal, honey traps and blackmail, continuing arms sales to Israel against unreleased legal advice and divisions in the Foreign Office, the Home Office [still] collapsing under the weight of its own policy, and a party leader once again desperately touting this fantastical idea that the UK could leave the European Convention on Human Rights.
As we observe Westminster and the Conservative Party embroiled once more in impropriety, wrongdoing, scandal, or ineffective policies, the prevailing sense of 'complete lack of surprise' reflects a troubling normalisation of such occurrences within our collective consciousness.
The indifference might provide another explanation to why things are ‘unwavering, unchanging and consistent’ in relation to the polls, as discussed previously.
‘Electoral oblivion’: The national feeling has been consistent for a while now, and the reasons are obvious to everybody - except Rishi Sunak
You know Sunak is plunging further into the depths of whatever proverbial abyss he currently occupies by promoting Jonathan Gullis, which in itself was an attempt to stymie a revolt from the people who want to replace him with former home secretary Priti Patel as Prime Minister.
While it may appear that certain events distract from more pertinent issues, the underlying truth remains: the government demonstrates a remarkable capacity for simultaneous incompetence, all while sidestepping the crucial matters that demand the most attention.
More than anything -
They're all just reminders of why the government is so unfit for purpose - especially with Rishi Sunak at the helm, with his so-called ‘political judgement.’
David Cameron, for example.
