The sound of scraping barrels

 

It isn't easy to know what to say about the current UK political situation. 

We may treat it seriously, or as an absurd circus or we may treat it as something in between, but these two chaps on the left shouldn't be there.

Neither man is anywhere near to possessing the ability required. Neither has the capacity to take a firm hold of the prime minister's role and stave off further decline. 

With Starmer we already know this is so, with Burnham we are close enough to knowing, close enough that finding out for sure isn't worth the risk.

Treat it as pantomime or theatre-absurd I suppose.

Empty vessels make the most sound.

James - yes, treat it as theatre. I have a post on it.

DJ - yes, a hollow, booming, empty sound.
