If Labour did this.
If this was a Labour Government it would have collapsed by now.
Can you imagine what the press would say day after day if a Labour PM’s wife, let alone his girlfriend was so obviously influencing appointments and decision making? What would be the mood if Labour ministers ousted top Civil Servants, lied on a daily basis, appointed dodgy advisors, bullied staff and put a border down the Irish sea?
What would business say if a Labour government made it more difficult to trade, hire skilled staff and increased red tape while telling them it was good for them? Let alone nationalising the railways and slashing the aid budget while shrinking the size of the army, yet again. Not to mention the small matter of a global pandemic which was mishandled and killed thousands.
Would the nation put up with a Labour PM who has the time to write a book or turned up at the Cenotaph without even combing his hair?
I am trying hard to imagine it and failing.
