The UK has had some of the most banal, insiped leadership for awhile now. It seems to me that this is both a tragic and entirely predictable outcome that's ultimately going to hurt everyday folks the most.
In fairness, the set of lunatics currently in charge are anything but banal. Banal and insipid would be lovely. Banal and insipid wouldn't e.g. blow up our relationship with Europe, or attempt to out-Thatcher Thatcher. I'd love banal and insipid right now...
Hahaha, fair. I (personally) find them evil but in like a creeping sort of way. But on the flip side I just think of Liz Truss bragging about opening new pork markets and I cannot imagine anything more banal.

Well, Sunak did predict during the leadership contest that this would happen - admittedly we haven't had the actual IMF in yet but if there's another severe slump, I wouldn't bet against it.
