"There's a mole - right at the heart of Downing Street, one of the top people. The Labour codename for him is 'Gaitskell'. We don't know who he is, but this 'Gaitskell' has compromised or actively suborned dozens, perhaps hundreds of our candidates' prospects."
This latest one inspired by Sunak's Day Three campaign: visiting the factory where they made the Titanic. Tomorrow: a factory where they make 'Exit' signs.
Wait, I just actually read the Belfast Live story. He got out, took the lifejacket off, then put it back on so that *more photographers could take pictures of him in it*
Over on the Other Place I saw Count Binface asking if this image was Sunak rebuilding a red wall. And if I hadn't seen the other two I'd have said "no, don't be silly". And yet...
A question: why, why do lame Cons electioneers call at Artemis during Belfast visits (thinking Truss &, now, Mr Conviviality)?
Is Artemis the only NI based company likely to open doors to them, is Nus Ghani still pulling strings in the background. What about lil’ Jo Bamford’s ‘Boris’ bus factory?
There has to be some chance this is a decades in the making return of Andy Kaufman, orrrr, a long play of exit past the gift shop. Or the reality breach from 2015 is finally destabilising into a subspace singularity that returns us to the Bowie prime timeline. It’s one of those three.
Day 27: The NHS officially requests that Sunak stop visiting hospitals because even the ones that don't have structural issues have started collapsing as soon as he sets foot in them.
Back in the day that Thatcher was PM she made repeated visits to hospitals, particularly to show she cared if there had been a tragedy.
It got to be such a joke that these became a thing
Private Eye had a Thatchcard in one issue. I cut it out and made it into a card and kept it in my wallet. Then I thought I should get a real donor card because otherwise that would be terrible. Then when she resigned I sent my Thatchcard back to Private Eye.
Would he like to visit my local hospital? I could point him to a nice photo-op spot at the top of the road to the main buildings.
There's a funeral director's on each corner.
I really don't know how this pitch of screeching incompetence can be maintained for another six weeks. It's just going to feel like everything's gone flat.
Ie. They're struggling for candidates, have no argument that's sustainable and their campaign infrastructure is in bits.
Withdrawing Sunak just brings that into focus
