Another day brings with it another difficult morning with Rishi Sunak. With Labour’s lead now stretching to 18 points, the Prime Minister did a tetchy interview with Laura Kuenssberg saw the pair clash over inflation and mortgages. And Sunak will no doubt be delighted to know that the person whose reaction which Kuenssberg sought straight after the interview was none other than longtime Labour supporter and donor Ben Elton. He was sat in Kuenssberg’s studio and let rip on the Prime Minister when the BBC presenter asked him for his thoughts on her interview:
It’s not so much depressed sad, I mean, if anybody was still watching after that, extraordinary Orwellian, meaningless, evasive word salad. Everybody else wanted to believe and I sort of believed, that maybe he’s kind of, a bit more decent, you know, and it turns out he’s as much of a mendacious narcissistic sociopath as his previous boss. I mean, this man, literally, he seemed to be making a principle of the fact that he resigned from a government that he’d served loyally and tried to keep propped up for numerous years. He was trying to boast about having worried about inflation while he was Chancellor of the Exchequer under Johnson. He seems to act like he was born into Downing Street six months ago was, like it was a miracle birth. No, he was a part of a 13 year cycle which has got us to this point. He talks about foreign countries having the same problems. He doesn’t admit what he well knows which is that they’re all doing better under them. The evasion! The constant repetition of a prepared… I genuinely wanted to believe that maybe the Tories had made a reset even though they had elected a man who had loyally served under Johnson, a man who made a mockery of a parliamentary democracy and clearly was was venally motivated by self-interest, the fact that the Tories chose that easy option. For a man now, to say, we don’t take easy options, when they took the easy option which was Johnson because they thought it would keep them in power. And when they thought for a moment he wouldn’t, they dumped him instantly. I mean he’s the Prime Minister. He owes us honesty and we got nothing but mendacity, evasion and vanity, just dripping with vanity.
If only he’d say what he really thinks…
