Whenever I feel sorry for him, I remind myself of how unsuited he was to be PM in the first place.
Parachuted into a safe seat in 2015 and won by virtue of having a blue rosette, did very little for 5 years, then gets given the second most powerful office in the country because he was willing to say "yes sir" to Dominic Cummings, then walks into the PM's office by default after losing to Liz Truss.
He looks comically out of his depth, because he is. It's tragic he was ever able to become PM in the first place. He'd achieved absolutely nothing of note to become a front bench politician. Judge him on his record, he says.
