Except of course that the reason you keep banging on about cake and beer is that it allows you to push your line without having to engage with the larger, uncomfortable truth. The actual elephant in the room is that we now have a Prime Minister who lacks the moral authority to lead the country.

This scandal does not carry the same moral weight as a speeding ticket because the context is not the same. By now, I am quite convinced that you know this, and have no answer for it, because if you did, you would have said so by now.

Every time you try to deflect the discussion onto Keir Starmer, cake, beer or whatever, you simply show the rest of us that you’re wrong, and you know you are.
