So there was no chance for Reese! to pre-plan his day trip to Cop27 next Monday. Not that he needed time to deal with climate change. He had already made it clear that he wasn’t interested in that. No, his main concern was that he had more photo ops with other world leaders than his would-be rival, Boris Johnson. Hint: this wasn’t going to happen. Even though Macron, Biden and their associates know that the Convict is completely immoral, they would rather spend time with him than with a non-mark like Sunak. Someone who couldn’t count on him still being in power by Christmas. The UK is now officially a global laughingstock. Here’s the thing. While there may be any number of Tory multiverses where manifesto promises are kept and broken, there is none in which the government is even half competent. A connective synapse in the cupboard is a long way off. We’ve gone from full on Trussterfuck to completely Sunakered in a heartbeat. As it was the firefighting at the Ministry of the Interior started again on Wednesday night and continued throughout Thursday. The first immigration minister, the baby-faced five-year-old Robert Jenrick, announced there would be a judicial review of his department’s handling of the refugee crisis, as the Manston processing plant was not operating illegally. You would think that not breaking the law was the minimum requirement for a Home Secretary. But we live in unusual times. Then came the news that the Home Office had driven a minibus with 11 refugees in flip-flops to Victoria Station and dumped them on the street. Flip flops lost! Curiously, a department spokesman had said the refugees had not been handed over by mistake. Which probably suggested that they must have done it on purpose. It’s a look. Finally, one more clarification. The refugees had said they were being met by family and friends and no one had thought to check if they were telling the truth. Why; It’s not like the government has a duty of care or anything. Leaky Sue chose not to apologize. She probably went out on fire to make life even more miserable for asylum seekers. She was fed up that her £200 million and measured plans to export junk to Rwanda had so far brought exactly no one to the streets of Kigali. So now he informed the right-wing tabloids that he was going to try the same stunt in Paraguay, Peru and Belize. They certainly wouldn’t mind. Except it turns out they did. Belize was horrified at the thought of taking in refugees who had ended up in a third world country like the UK. A place where diphtheria, scabies and MRSA were rampant. The Secretary of State insisted that Braverman must have got the wrong end. It was the United Kingdom that was the designated recipient of the people Belize did not want. People like Lord Ashcroft. There were only so many tax exiles in a country. Home Secretary Suella Braverman is barely visible as she arrives by helicopter at Manston Airport for a visit to the migrant center Picture: Dan Kitwood/Getty Images Until now Rish! he had enough. Leaky Sue was sent to Kent to tour Manston. He took a helicopter from Dover to the facility. Just in case he encountered any refugees who had broken out. What he thought the visit might accomplish was anyone’s guess. But it had to look like he was doing something. Braverman remained tight-lipped. He couldn’t see what all the fuss was about. Surely it was a sign of how well things were working if a facility designed to accommodate 1,600 people for 24 hours took 4,000 over a month or so? She refused to meet with the media and answer questions, so insight died on her lips. It wasn’t just the asylum system that failed. Not to be outdone, the police service is also collapsing under the watch of the Tory government at the Home Office. And so the recently demoted – and never was a demotion more earned – junior home secretary Chris Phillips was forced to come to the Commons to explain why a recent report had found widespread failures of misogyny, sexual misconduct and criminality in its vetting processes. police. . Philip didn’t have much to say. What could? The report was equally damning and depressing. Rather it seemed as if the only defense was that for higher roles in the police, vetting procedures were probably stricter. To become a supervisor you had to have been convicted of aggravated burglary at a minimum. All the minister could do was apologize and insist that the three recommendations made to the Home Office would be implemented. I wish there was precedent for the department to obey the law. By noon on Thursday, Leaky Sue could breathe a little easier. The spotlight was off her for a while as the Bank of England announced it had raised interest rates by 0.75% to their highest level since 2008. Inflation had to be tackled and the UK was headed for a two-year recession. And after that, we could only look forward to a barely noticeable bottom development. It was about now that Jeremy Hunt regretted returning as replacement chancellor for yet another failed Tory prime minister. You only know you’ve hit the bottom of the barrel when the fragments start to show. The first few weeks on the job were the easy part. Just negating everything that Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng had suggested. You or I could have done it and looked competent. It has been harder to undo the last 12 years of conservative economic mismanagement. Hunt gave a brief television interview. It was not a Tory-made disaster. It was just a disaster the Tories had made. And the really great thing about this recession was that it had happened under the watch of the Conservatives. Why the Conservatives could trust the economy. If the same recession had happened when a Labor government was in power then the country would be completely screwed. “Uh…” said the chancellor. Everything would be difficult. Especially for the Prime Minister who has endured seeing millions of pounds disappear from his £730m net worth. So we should all pray for Rhys!. “Will this happen?” Hunt asked, desperate to get away. Would not be. It really wouldn’t be. But it was all we were going to get. Welcome to Breadline Britain.
