Rishi Sunak

That's not "the point"... to claim that the WEF is nothing more than a benign and mostly ineffectual lobby group with no meaningful political influence at all, and anyone who thinks otherwise also obviously believes that Hilary Clinton sacrificed babies and drank their blood in the basement of a Pizza Parlour, you're really not doing your argument any favours at all.

The WEF has no power or authority over anybody or anything.

The tinfoil is on aisle 6.

The new cabinet is rehash of previous ones, a retread of proven failures and integrity and competence ditched in favour of party management.

Our 5th PM in six years and the same old stink. In terms of political instability and with an economic policy designed to run contrary to our interests, we are paying a high price for Brexit, and none this helped by a pandemic and war in Europe.

I give it six months. This zombie Govt is out of ideas and people. It literally ate its own brains years ago.

I think it will limp on for two years. However badly the country is doing more than 325 MPs won't vote themselves out of a job and they'll keep rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic whilst pointing at seagulls rather than trying to avoid the iceberg, with the biggest seagull being a metaphor for culture wars.

Like the Titanic analogy, but the way I see it is that the ship has already sunk and they are scrambling over each other to try and get in the lifeboats.
Of course there aren’t enough of them.

The rearranging deckchairs bit was supposed to be an analogy for cabinet reshuffles with the same people swapping jobs. Can't do that if it's sunk!

It‘s more the tiredness of this Govt. It is striking how the new cabinet resembles one of the many old cabinets from the past few years. All Govts end up fatigued and out of ideas. The one idea they cling to is Brexit and that has gotten old fast. They keep talking about ‘Brexit opportunities’ and never cite any. It’s just the same tired, empty words on a constant loop.

I can’t see this Govt lasting two years because there is no energy or enthusiasm behind it. As soon as you appoint a Gavin Williamson or a Braverman, or a Raab you know there is nothing left. It’s like digging out old clothes from the laundry basket and hoping no one notices the stains or the stink from last time around.

As for them sorting out the problems of the country, well they are the problem to a large extent, so how they going to fix that? What problems are they going to solve with Braverman at the Home Office and obsessing over Rwanda? Last time Raab was at Justice he drive the barristers to strike action. How much is the ‘moron risk premium‘ the markets and overseas investors have priced into the UK going to cost us?

This Govt is finished. It doesn’t have a mandate, it ceased to have a mandate a while back. All it has is a blind instinct to make things worse.

There is also the one about the band playing on as the ship was on it's way down.

It's a mix of groundhog day and a fever dream watching this lot on our screens (the sight of Cleverly yet again apologising this morning is sickly).

Entertainment sells of course, hence why the BBC are camped out around this circus...but it's the dullest, grime ridden show in town.

I was going to say bringing in Raab etc., is like keeping Mahrez on penalty duty despite his constant failures, but I’m still too annoyed about his latest miss.

Interesting what taking the a out of his name gives you….
