Prime Ministers are coming and going these days like Caesars of the later empire. And while they're in office they seem to spend most of their time fending off attacks. It's remarkable that anyone would want the job but- as always when a leader is going down-there are numbers of people crowding round Keir Starmer, kicking him in the shins while professing undying loyalty and hoping to catch the crown when he falls.
YouTube keeps sending me little clips from Game of Thrones. I never watched the show (too long, too long!) but I'm rather wishing I had. All that plotting, killing, betraying- it reflects our times. I particularly enjoyed a little speech of Tyrion's in which he confesses how surprised he was to find he enjoys "the Game."
People are getting hurt- and more than simply hurt- but there is comedy too. If Starmer is remembered at all- and there's very little about him worth remembering- it will probably be for the Conference speech in which he asked for the return of the Israeli "sausages...."
