A Government Not Fit For Purpose

We have had good and not so good governments. Mostly it depends on your politics as to the judgment you apply. But now it cannot matter what your politics are, it is plain for all to see the this government is dysfunctional. The party in office is split on Brexit and Austerity, it is still not clear what exactly their Brexit aim is, there is a crisis all across the public sector (the latest is a terrible report on the conditions in our prisons which should shame the nation), the economy is faltering and there is no programme for growth, Brexit uncertainty is now piling one anxiety upon another and at the centre of it all, the Cabinet, there is total disarray.

There is now gathering a great political storm. When it will break and what effect it will have we cannot yet tell. But things cannot go on as they are. Be in no doubt of that.
