In the last two days
before voting starts, Sunak has obviously decided that his Tory Oblivion Project
needs yet another boost. The lies became even more fantastic and a whiff
of antisemitism was deployed. Whilst the project received something of a
setback with the Nigel Farage plc Party coming close to an implosion over
racism and admiration for Putin, Sunak hadn’t yet played all his cards. Fresh
from reminding
us of the disaster which was Liz Truss, yesterday it was finally time to roll
out her
predecessor as another reminder of just how chaotic the last few years have
been and how dishonest his party can be. That Johnson seems to have declined to
be pictured with, let alone shake hands with, the current incumbent was a
beautiful bonus.
But with the latest
poll showing the Tories still retaining as many as 64 seats, it’s time for
desperate measures if he is to get down to less than 50 and be certain of
losing his own seat. Today, in a final roll of the dice, he’s let the dogs off
the leash. First up in admitting that defeat on a huge scale is inevitable was Suella
Braverman, who somewhat strangely seems to believe that making the wipeout
even greater will aid her chances of becoming leader. But then, most of what
she believes seems a little strange. She was rapidly followed by the ever-dependable
poodle Mel
Stride, always guaranteed to present the picture his leader wants
presented. Just how many other outgoing cabinet ministers will be loyal enough
to their leader to step up to the plate and concede defeat before the polls
open tomorrow is as yet unclear. Perhaps Sunak has another card or two in the
pack that he can play if they don’t, but it’s not obvious what they might be,
and he’s leaving it very late. On the final day of the campaign, the success of
the TOP is still on a knife-edge.
