We have a Government that totters from crisis to crisis, led by somebody who is hardly in charge

It’s like that Grand National when almost all of them got confused before the first fence.

But some of them have been planning to be a Prime Minister for quite some time, including one Wesley Streeting.

Just look at Streeting’s letter towards the Prime Minister. He was vitriolic. He said where we need vision, we have a vacuum. Where we need direction, we have drift.

This compares to what Margaret Thatcher said when she went into Downing Street all those years ago, quoting Saint Francis saying that where there was division, she wanted to bring harmony and where there was error, she wanted to bring truth.

It is an incredibly powerful oratorical formulation, but devastating to the Prime Minister.

It’s criticising the Prime Minister of being wholly out of his depth, wholly unable to lead.

But then our great hero Wes Streeting, he comes on his charger flags flying the sword, ready to slay the no.

Then he says, well, though I’ve got the number of letters, I think it’d be best not to proceed, because I’m not sure.

I very much doubt personally that he’s got the letters, so he rides backwards or falls off his charger.

Then we get Josh Simons. You will remember the one who got journalists spied on by some US dodgy lobbying group not so long ago and had resigned from the Government.

Somebody of an inestimable high reputation who says he’ll give up his seat for Andy Burnham.

But this seat in the last local elections would have been won by Nigel Farage of Reform.

So can Andy Burnham get back into the Commons? Will Wes Streeting ever stiffen his courage to stick his courage to the wotsit post?

What about Angela Rayner? She’s been cleared by HMRC, but what does that mean? And what happened there is all unutterable chaos.

And so we have a Government that totters from crisis to crisis, led by somebody who is hardly in charge, the Downing Street cat, let alone of His Majesty’s Government.
