'Rishi Sunak is clearly out of his depth and couldn’t run a bath let alone Britain'

Totally useless and grotesquely incompetent, Rishi Sunak couldn’t run a bath let alone Britain.

The pint-sized unelected Prime Minister is proving he’s not up to the big job before his 100th day in the post on Thursday.

Even Tories are beginning to acknowledge that woeful dithering, shocking errors and appalling judgement reinforce Keir Starmer’s “hopelessly weak” jibe.

Taxing questions are much wider than sacking the wretched, self-pitying Nadhim Zahawi a fortnight late.

Sunak giving the less than truthful Tory chair a clean bill of health the week before last was a PM scandalously putting party before country.

The wealthiest PM in history is a complete chancer and unctuous charlatan behind the smile and politeness.

Which is why screaming Zahawi following Cabinet tyrant Gavin Williamson out of the door doesn’t end of Sunak’s problems.

Deputy PM Dominic Raab is accused like deposed Williamson of bullying while Sunak’s dirty deal to restore Suella Braverman as Home Secretary deserves to haunt him.

None of the horrifying behaviour might matter when living standards are soaring, the economy’s booming, NHS prospering and everybody’s happily singing “Heigh-ho, it’s off to work we go”.

But living standards are tanking at record rates, Britain teeters on the verge of recession, the NHS is on its knees and the Tories are blamed for strikes hitting public services.

Oh, and the Conservatives are so far behind the opinion polls they are being lapped by Labour.

Sunak’s clearly out of his depth and the next 100 days could be even worse instead of better.

That he’s stalked by greedy, law-breaking and unpopular Boris Johnson is why voters will almost certainly pull the plug on the Tories at the next election.

They’re proving why the party’s unfit to govern, Zahawi a symptom of a terminal affliction.
