Fish rot from the head down and the stench of contempt in Downing Street is seeing scales falling from voters’ eyes.
Fishy Rishi is a beached Chancellor without credibility, struggling to survive and contemplating resignation over the Rishi Notax scandal.
The nets trawling the sordid financial affairs of his incredibly wealthy family may yet produce another jaw-dropper that will force the Tory moneybags to resign in disgrace.
And the morally corrupt Prime Minister he’s now unlikely ever to succeed – charlatan Boris Johnson, who presided over widespread law-breaking during Covid, his head on the chopping block until Putin spared him – remains a rotten man.
Downing Street’s decaying neighbours represent a Conservative government decomposing rapidly, with ministers mocked for regurgitating on the airwaves pathetic excuses for indefensible behaviour.
Draw a Venn diagram and the fools spouting drivel to shield slippery Sunak and an heiress wife, Akshata Murty, who’d pay £30,000 to avoid millions of pounds in British tax, overlap with idiots who falsely claimed Johnson didn’t hold parties and is innocent of all charges.
Whether what non-dom Murty and Green Card Sunak did was legal misses the point that it is unacceptable for a Chancellor to put up taxes for the little people while his family lawfully dodge them.
Sleaze taking the Tories back to the John Major era is a glorious opportunity for Labour – and a challenge. Leader Keir Starmer is receiving conflicting advice.
Either he sticks with Ed Miliband and Jeremy Corbyn’s proposals to end the non-dom scam, or he listens to those who say it would be seen as anti-business.
Championing fairness could draw a thick red line between Labour and the Tories at the election.
The Conservative fish is rotting... Labour needs to use its head.
