Whenever I’m forced to watch Shakespeare I’ll always root for the woman no matter how loathsome she’s supposed to be. Lord help me, but I love an untamed shrew. So though I know this opinion to be wrong, I’m glad Carrie Johnson survived the week. It seems the Prime Minister considers the two of them to be starring in a contemporary remake of Othello in which he plays the hero (obviously) to Dominic Cummings’ Iago. So, if I remember the plot right, she should have been figuratively strangled by now.
But no, she tore up the Desdemona script and washed her hands like Lady Macbeth — no doubt while singing Happy Birthday and thinking of cake.
