I was in my building society earlier, where I caught sight of Prime Minister’s Questions on the TV there. I stopped watching PMQs ages ago because I was getting too wound up. Looking at Kemi Badenoch on the screen, it struck me that, for all her insults, taunts and baseless accusations, she doesn’t even realise that she’s nothing but the puppet of a group of rich white men responsible for the mess that the country is now in. I know that holding the government to account is the opposition’s job, but if the Tories had a modicum of humility or integrity, they would be begging for our collective forgiveness, not mouthing their heads off, making out it’s all Labour’s fault. The fact that the Tories refuse to accept their culpability for the country’s diminishment and isolation is bad enough; but the fact that they are currently using a black woman as their figurehead, in some perverse effort to appear open, inclusive and tolerant when they are still the collection of hyper-privileged white bigots who think power is their birthright which they always have been, is what makes it even more sickening.
