PM butt of a joke

-

INTERESTIN­G fact of the week… an anagram of Rishi Sunak is hi risk anus. Make of it what you will…

Standing behind a lectern that was far too tall for him, in the pissing rain, trying to talk over the booming strains of Things Can Only Get Better.

That’s how the Prime Minister told us the date of the election.

It was not a D:Ream but a nightmare for our little AI robot PM.

He’ll be Forlorn On The Fourth Of July – Labour’s Windepende­nce Day.

The chaotic nature of the speech was actually quite fitting, given the entire shambles his party and Government has become.

And to think the tiny fella used to be dubbed Dishy Rishi by supporters.

Now he’ll go down in history as the Wally Without A Brolly.

Rishi Sunk without a trace. Things clearly cannot get any better for him.

It was only getting worse – and that’s likely why he caved in and called the country to the polls.

With the recent history of his party,

FORMER Post Office boss shed crocodile tears all week as she refused to take responsibi­lity for the Horizon IT scandal. gawd only knows what other bad news was lurking around the corner.

One of his top ministers has been unmasked as a serial kitten killer, perhaps?

His campaign started off just as shambolic as his announceme­nt.

He turned up for a question-andanswer session at a factory where two of the questioner­s weren’t employees but were actually

Tory councillor­s.

So far, so shady.

Then he asked people in

Wales whether they were looking forward to the

Euros, even though the country hasn’t qualified for the tournament.

He’s truly a man of the people.

And then, in a move that not even writers of

In The Thick Of It could dream up, he held a press conference in Belfast at the Titanic Quarter… and got asked whether he was captaining a sinking ship.

Oops.

Meanwhile, Michael Gove jumped overboard and became the 77th Conservati­ve MP to announce he will step down before the election. The ship has well and truly hit the ocean floor.

So fair play to Rishi for cutting his losses and making sure he will be out of office for good by the summer holidays.

Sensible. Why drag us all through a few more months of this wreckage? Let the other lot make a start of making their own almighty mess – so we can start to moan about them too.
