The Flatulent Leader’s old boss, Sir Max Hastings has written: “His chaotic public persona is not an act – he is, indeed, manically disorganised about everything except his own image management. He is also a far more ruthless, and frankly nastier, figure than the public appreciates.”

And we are beginning to see just what he meant: feuds against the BBC and the judiciary will prove massively damaging to public opinion and public good. The vicious way he ousted his (lacklustre) chancellor, the Urban Spaceman, was ruthless and demeaning – primarily to the FL himself – who else could imagine that a holder of one of the great offices of state would submit to the dismissal of every single one of his advisers?

Beware.  He has barely been in power for six months. We ain’t seen nuttin’ yet.
