Another day brings with it another difficult morning with Rishi Sunak. With Labour’s lead now stretching to 18 points, the Prime Minister did a tetchy interview with Laura Kuenssberg saw the pair clash over inflation and mortgages. And Sunak will no doubt be delighted to know that the person whose reaction which Kuenssberg sought straight after the interview was none other than longtime Labour supporter and donor Ben Elton. He was sat in Kuenssberg’s studio and let rip on the Prime Minister when the BBC presenter asked him for his thoughts on her interview:
It’s not so much depressed sad, I mean, if anybody was still watching after that, extraordinary Orwellian, meaningless, evasive word salad. Everybody else wanted to believe and I sort of believed, that maybe he’s kind of, a bit more decent, you know, and it turns out he’s as much of a mendacious narcissistic sociopath as his previous boss.
