There are days when you image life cannot get any sillier…then it does. This morning a hapless Conservative minister, Mark Harper, tried to polish the turd that is Rishi Sunak’s D Day appearance and disappearance as not a ‘serious blow‘. Now I know these people have to pull the party line but really. Do they not know we have eyes and ears?

As a side note there is a real chance that Harper may not be an MP after the General Election. I suspect trying to defend the undefendable may not go down too well with the electors of the Forest of Dean. Only time will tell.
