Just three days in and 2024 is shaping up to be a golden year for political comedy. The closer we get to an election, the more Westminster resembles the theatre of the absurd. You couldn’t create such hapless characters if you tried. Weak, vain narcissists scrabbling around for any attention they can get. Seemingly unaware of the ridicule in which they are held by most of the country. How unforgiven they are for the destruction they have wantonly caused.
On Tuesday we had James Cleverly and his technicolour truths. On Wednesday we had a press conference for Reform UK. To all intents and purposes a party that exists purely for the glorification of Nigel Farage. Without Nige, the party is a waste of space. Dead in the water. Of no interest to anyone.
