Cant argue with that, but you are ignoring the above points. The government cannot make up the shortfall in every instance, im sure you think it can.

We are at the lowest point economically.

Normality is out the window, and when the money gravy train dries up, what then? Because it will. Would you like to comment on that?

I believe that if the negligence and corruption had been less the government would now be better placed to respond to the crisis.

A more genial and better quality Conservative government would not have got in this mess to this degree. I discern that you will not defend it because you are a Conservative and this government can be regarded as not a Conservative government. I agree with that. It is a 'Boris Johnson and his sheep' government, but thus far the sheep remain.

Gove is often derided but he remains the nearest thing to a genuine Cabinet Minister. He has often done what is immediately unpopular but is the correct policy. However, he is as good as gone already by being a Sunak supporter. As for Priti Patel and Nadine Dorries, the scorn is perpetual and quite rightly so.

The entire Cabinet needs to be flushed away and thus recover some measure of respect for the Conservatives. Until it happens the party will struggle. Truss seems to be planning some degree of a flush out but she is bringing back veterans, probably not as a long term measure, to steady things whilst new talent emerges. This is the prudent action to take.

It would be amusing if, soon after 5th September, 54 Sunak supporters write Letters Of No Confidence to Sir Graham Brady, Chairman of The 1922 Committee.
