I should have thought that being an utter shit was a prerequisite for serving as a Cabinet Minister in the New Model Conservative Party.

Just in case anyone was looking for a symbol of the UK's current catchpenny vainglory and the expensively cheap set dressing of a failing state.

“it is deeply ironic how tens of millions in public money that is supposed to be helping deprived communities is being used to try to resolve the huge damage done in Dover by the Tories’ botched Brexit deal”.

Another bonus.

"…they’ve been wrongfooted that most voters have taken the side of those going on strike. That people are fed up with the Conservatives trying to pretend they haven’t been in power for 13 years and are all in favour of workers trying to be a little less broke by asking for a pay rise that approximates to inflation."

While I can understand anybody's wish to avoid the Leeds railway station experience, three tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions and God knows how much taxpayers' money is too expensive an indulgence by our cosseted and out-of-touch Prime Minister.

“Support in answering ad-hoc requests for information, comment and evaluation from ministers” doesn't sound a lot like the work involved in "advertising prisoner officer jobs." It reads more like: "Desperately trying to put a positive gloss onto whatever thing Raab has decided to be a complete arsehole about today."

"The public expects the government to treat these talks seriously - it's time they got on with it."

Talking about "productivity" in the context of acute care outcomes suggests a certain insincerity of purpose.

"The last five Tory prime ministers in six years, remember, have each in turn represented a dramatic change from the one before. Yet still the party’s faithful cling on to whatever today’s prevailing orthodoxy might be. Increasingly though, it seems Tory members are feeling exasperated at being required to believe with every new PM the opposite of what was preached by their predecessor."
