The terminal assessment of the incumbent @albomp.bsky.social
@australianlabor.bsky.social Govt will deduce:

“It would have been better if it had actually tried…and failed.

Instead it failed to try…and failed”

You know who takes a cognitive test? People whose family members suspect their loved one is suffering from dementia. If he kept getting “perfect” scores…they wouldn’t keep administering them. My take? He blew the first one he ever took. Now, they’re tracking the decline. I’d bet my hot coffee on it.

in 2020 I discovered I had not really given enough respect to the existentialists because up until that point I had not suffered enough. it is now 2025 and I wish we had the writings of the weird-as-shit ancient greek guys because I think I am coming to understand insanity as a philosophical program

It wasn't 'his' brexit because the tories did it and he would say they 'did it wrong' and if they had done it his way, it would be amazing. That will never be a gotcha for him. It's the oiliness, nothing sticks.

Is this Johnson boy sane? He has a vacant look. And vacant answers. Or does that make him ideal for his job? To the rest of the world, the US is lower, daily.
