Finally The Truss V Sunak Psychodrama Is Over For Now At Least John Crace

In the absence of the government doing any real governing, we have been forced to endure the tedium of a tired Tory leadership contest. A specialized psychodrama for the 160,000 people allowed to vote. One with very little real drama, as we all knew who was going to win by the time MPs whittled the candidates down to the final two. Given the choice of a misogynist with half an idea and a leveling ideologue with no real ideas, Conservative members were always going to vote for the most hopeless. Liz Truss has even less than you think. But all mediocre things must come to an end and the six weeks of the hunt finally ended in London. Not that anyone cared. I was likely the only one watching. He certainly felt it. There was not a hint of celebration about the proceedings. No sense of excitement at a new beginning. Probably just the relief of not having chronic pain. Still, at least it’s not like anything much more important than the leadership contest has happened. Like the cost of living and the energy price crisis. Or a war in Europe. Then the last few months can feel a lot like dereliction of duty. As it is, this government no longer exists! It has ceased to be! It has expired and gone to meet its maker! It’s stiff! If you hadn’t nailed it to the perch, it would have pushed the daisies! His metabolic processes are now “history! He has kicked the bucket, shuffled ’tis a mortal coil, pulled down the curtain and entered the choir unseen!! THIS IS EARLY GOVERNMENT!! Take the prime minister. Please. Anywhere. You’d think Boris Johnson might want to use his final two months in office to shore up what’s left of his already battered reputation. But no. His main achievement was making sure he could use most of his holiday allowance. Although most people would ask for a “holiday from what” as it’s not like the criminal has done much to be proud of. Then there is the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The creme de la creme of futility. Which is the achievement: there was stiff competition for the most useless member of the cabinet. But Nadhim Zahawi was on a mission not just to do nothing, but to actively see that he did nothing. So every week he’s sure to let everyone know he hasn’t done anything. Now he has even gone to the US to inform them that he is doing nothing At Wembley, Giles Bradreth was trying to warm up the crowd for the final postponements. But even the permanently smoother speaker couldn’t generate much excitement. Although he said he loved the Tory party for what it had done for the country. Mmm. I’m not sure the country feels the same way. Then we got the lethal Iain Duncan Smith and Michael Gove trying to explain why they supported Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak respectively. IDS just fell asleep while Govster looked haggard, like he was coming off a cocaine binge. He particularly wanted to thank Johnson. Because he was so corrupt that even the Tories had had enough of him. Then came the two main players. Both were in their comfort zones having been there and done it many times before. There isn’t a question they haven’t been asked and stuck with. Well, almost unexpectedly in the case of Radon Lease. She still sounds surprised if she gets to the end of a coherent sentence. As it could. It is a zone without intellect and charisma. She muttered about middle-class poverty, the UK being a “nation of ambition” and continued to fuel the culture wars before being asked by LBC’s Nick Ferrari to explain what she was doing. It wasn’t fair to call the government a “zombie government,” Radon Lees insisted. Because that meant the government was sleeping doing nothing. In fact, he was wide awake while doing nothing. There was a big difference between actively choosing to bugger all. That’s what they told us. And he would go and visit Ukraine. Probably during the Labor Party conference. Ready for Rish! it was slightly cooler than on previous outings. He seemed less fragile and less willing to openly criticize his opponent. Maybe he knows the game is over and has relaxed a bit. Playing the long game of waiting for Trash to pull it off and trying to pick up the pieces in a few years. Or just head for the hills with his billions. Mind you, for all the practice, he is still none the wiser because inflation hit record levels while he was chancellor. The cheers offered seemed to be directed at Reese! Some reward for his slightly higher skill. But not enough. All the polls show that Randon Lees is certain to become the new Tory leader on Monday. What the hell have the rest of us done to deserve it?
