PM’s autumn agenda will be one of desperate hope after months of one bad headline after another
. The summer had been a total disaster. He’d tried to take charge of the media grid but had been rewarded with one bad headline after another. He’d have been better off doing nothing at all and giving himself and the country a break.. About time but he hadn’t banked on an 1,800-word letter slagging him off in the Mail on Sunday. She’d even taken a pop at his shoes. What was wrong with them? Didn’t everyone shop at Prada? In hindsight he’d badly misjudged the extent of her crush on Boris.
FFS. What kind of idiot was she? Reminding everyone that under the Tories the police scarcely got round to investigating murder and rape. Especially when these crimes were committed by the police. And it was just a joke to think the police were really going to spend hours on every burglary and car theft. How was that going to work? How many police did she think there were? On second thoughts, don’t ask.
As for the green stuff, it had been just a lot of fuss about nothing. He and Michael Gove had had to remind people that thewas just another Brexit bonus. Besides which it made far more sense for the government to stump up for some of the environmental costs rather than make the polluter pay. After all, these 130,000 new houses were almost certainly never going to be built.. James Cleverly would do anything for another long-haul trip on the government plane.
