Labour feels like a government in waiting as authority in British politics shifts, says Andrew Marr

"Unfortunately for Duracell Bunny, it's probably too late. His party no longer knows what Brexit is for, if it ever did, and is now playing a kind of game of alternative fantasy futures, with the Boris Johnson tribute band playing in Bournemouth one day and the American republican-influenced National Conservatives jamming wildly in Central London the next.
"It was also the week in which the UKIP leader Nigel Farage announced that Brexit wasn't working, and when Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng helpfully popped up to say hello, just in case we'd forgotten.
