One constant amid the political disruption was Tory MPs making self-serving fools of themselves on the box
Jacob Rees-Mogg sacrificed his wife and four of his six children to that merciless gorgon: reality TV It was the wettest Spring on record. Not for Britain, but for Rishi Sunak, whose surprise announcement of a general election back in May, in loud torrential rain outside No 10,. It did not project the “resilient statesman” impression he might have hoped – in fact it looked like he and his sodden suit were shrinking before our very eyes .
We’ll start with Boris Johnson, who famously gets his head down to get on with the job, or at least will do so when HarperCollins has already paid a £510,000 advance for it. But Johnson is a personality people warm to, so it was nothing a quick charm offensive on television couldn’t fix. On the night of the US electionNewsletter His evisceration at least livened up a grim election night, but I’m not sure the approach of repeating the book title every 45 seconds achieved the Pavlovian effect on sales – it sounded more like he was desperately barking out a safe word. He deflected to “unleashed” during every conversation and question.
