Amber Rudd's latest admission of sheer incompetence makes me wonder if she will actually get through to Monday as Home Secretary. She seems to be taking a position that there were targets, but she knew nothing about them. If so in what sense was she monitoring the activities of her own department?
Michael Gove's defence of her on the basis that the issue is supposedly being used as a distraction from other issues appears to be becoming the default excuse of choice in UK politics. The line, not to be fair confined to the Tory party, appears to be "You are only pointing out how utterly awful we are in order to distract from how utterly awful you are."
We all seem to be getting a long way from any kind of message of hope or change which was allegedly what created the huge change in turnout at the 2017 General Election. I find it hard to imagine the voters being massively enthused when they are asked to vote to Thursday by this sort of dialogue.
