One of the key points this week has been the idea that the British Constitution held up and stopped Johnson carrying on regardless and forcing a snap election.
Rawnsley could have taken his piece a step further and asked what more parties can do to stop such individuals reaching the position in the first place. Perhaps the vetting process should be much stricter and the onus placed on the political party to select with greater caution. We now see a raft of candidates professing their adherence to values, but as we have seen, such words can quickly become meaningless.

Ha! Ha! No, I finally succumbed to Covid last couple days so between sleeping and reading Bluemoon I’ve had no time (or energy) to point out governmental grammatical errors.

A more interesting point in that article is the Labour use of ‘twelve years of austerity’. That’s not the first time I’ve seen/heard that in the last fortnight, so clearly Labour know that there is more ‘austerity’ coming and that they’re deliberately going to conflate the two to make it appear one to the electorate. Quite a shrewd ploy.

Nobody could rationally describe government spending in the last two years as being remotely in accordance with austerity ffs.

Profligate would seem more appropriate tbh.
