Reactions to an announcement

Firstly, the Prime Minister doesn’t know enough to come in from the rain.

I picture the discussion beforehand, if we can assume they still have discussions in Number 10.

“Right! It’s decided! Get the podium set up outside!”
“Excuse me, Prime Minister have you seen the weather?”
“It’s fine!”

“At this moment, yes sir. But it’s been damp all day and the forecast…”
“Don’t be ridiculous! What do experts know…”

I imagine them re-running the dialogue they used about Rwanda. And Eat Out to Spread Diseases…

Bold of him to put his record during the pandemic at the top of his list of boasts.

I do hope the electorate has one of its rushes of brains to the head and remembers who got them into the mess we’re in.

He’s got a point about Starmer’s not saying anything about anything much but that’s because if says anything the Tory press will jump on it, point accusingly and shout a lot. It seems to be the only thing they know how to do in a debate. People still fall for it.

The Tories also accuse him of having no ‘charisma’ and being unexciting. You know I could get use to having a dull PM. (Stupid isn’t the same as dull: stupid often makes your life exciting.) Last time there was a July election was 1945: in my dreams Starmer turns out to be a second Atlee. An aging git can dream.

Labour’s got my vote anyway out of pure spite and a desire to have my revenge on Steve Baker for being an ERG big-wig.

At least we won’t be bored on the Fourth of July.
