We hope so. I think that is going to be the next one. Week after week, the poor people sitting people sitting behind the Prime Minister have to defend the indefensible, only for him to U-turn a few days later. One of the Prime Minister’s Cabinet Ministers told a journalist that “What’s happening at the moment is extraordinarily bad.” Another said: “We’ve gone through a catastrophic series of mis-steps.” Yet another Minister said “we are so unpopular at the moment I’ve come to the conclusion it’s worth rolling the dice” on a new leader. They are right, aren’t they?
