Don抰 like the result of the last general election? Then just have another one. Who cares if the new government has only been in office for four months? If you抮e not feeling markedly better off already then the new prime minister is clearly a dud. No matter that it actually might take years to turn around an economy that has been on its knees for more than a decade. Just never give Labour an even break. Keir Starmer is like a Premier League manager after a run of bad results. On borrowed time.At least that抯 what the likes of Nigel Farage and Elon Musk would have you believe. So thoughtful of the world抯 weirdest man to take such an interest in us poor Brits. You抎 have thought he had enough on his plate running the new department of government efficiency for Donald Trump. He could start by sacking himself. That would save several hundred thousand dollars.Taking the Lead by John Crace is published by Little, Brown (?18.99).
