Kakistocracy

A kakistocracy is a Government by the worst in society.

The current Cabinet might not be the very worst in society, but they just don't have the skillset needed to understand or run their departments.

Most were appointed because of their loyalty to the cult of Brexit and their willingness to follow policy orders from Johnson and his walking, now unemployed, walking bran: Cummings.

The Cabinet was appointed to make Brexit happen. Nothing else.

Not even consider the consequence of their only policy, just to get it through Parliament.

That in itself is bad enough, but pile on top of that the all too predicted consequences, which they laughed off as project fear, add a global pandemic and now foreign policy disaster in Afghanistan, and you see the fools for the chancers and snake oil salesmen they really are.

The Commons was mostly scathing, even the Tory benches, on Johnson and Raab, and yet this morning, the once "paper of record", The Times, only mentions the critism of Biden. Its no surprise to see Johnson's part-time employer, The Torygraph does the same, "holding the President in contempt".

The Express leads with PM defends Exit, and in the sub-headline states that Tory MPs were "furious". But the Mail has turned on Raab, who they say "was too busy on holiday to help".

I don't think much will cut through to the electorate, but MPs have seen how Johnson failed the country with COVID, and now failed those in Afghanistan who helped us, and the tens of thousands of armed forces personnel who served there, many came back physically and/or mentally injured. Some did not come back at all. All now abandoned by a Foreign Secretary and PM both on holiday when "the balloon went up".

Many will be reconsidering their actions over the last 25 months in voting and supporting a leader and PM totally unsuited for the role he so long craved.

The Foreign Secretary, as Minister for Brexit, was once surprised at how reliant the UK was on Dover to Calais trade route, so we could spend several hours pondering what has surprised him in his new role; maybe discovering that he could not send an aircraft carrier fleet to support as Afghansistan is landlocked.

A Home Secretary, whose family arrived in the UK as part of the 25,000 immigrants expelled by Idi Amin, and now sends more migrants back to Afghanistan than it is prepared to take, that despite there being a quarter of a million empty homes in the UK, there is no space.

A Trade Secretary who thought that Brexit-related trade deficit with the world could be fixed by "jam".

And so on.

Just remember, they could be in power for another three years four months. And because of gerrymandering, are unlikely to lose power even then.

We are so fucked.
