Since I have a small number of overseas readers who presumably don’t see the British newspapers, although I can’t help noticing theirs are equally scathing, I am re-posting Andrew Rawnsley’s op-ed piece in the Observer today because I admire his writing, he tends to be very well informed from within government, and his judgment is well considered. This makes this week’s verdict all the more damning of two months of relentless spin doctoring, making up policy on the hoof, endless false promises, allowing disproportionately high numbers to die, and making Keir Starmer look and feel like a proper grown-up in contrast to the arrogant, small-minded, jejune idiots who run our government so incompetently.
