I will focus on our defence minister in this. He is a career politician who has built his profile by his willingness to lie for the government every day. His name is Grant Schapps.
As defence minister he has his plate full. The war in Ukraine. The troubles in Israel and a depleted hollowed out army. There are british citizens trapped in Gaza and they are being bombed.
Britain is incapable of defending itself.
So what is his focus ?
His focus is on the sad fact that the BBC will not describe Hamas as a terrorist group. Now I understand that some might find that irritating but really. Has he got nothing better to do. If my family was trapped in Gaza or killed in Israel I would hope that he was doing something more constructive.
How can anyone take him seriously ?
This is the sort of thing that happens when you promote people of no ability. Schapps qualifications are that he used to write self help get rich quick books under assumed names.
Thats it.
Like the majority of Johnsons cabal he has limited experience of anything.
This morning Robert Jenrick filled our screens. Not with an update on our people in Gaza. He wanted to vent about a pro palestine march in London yestereday. It may have been uncomfortable for him but folk are entitled to march and they are entitled to express opinions that may be unpopular.
He also tried to score political points off the back of it. Looking to utilise Israel in the same way Boris positioned himself as the saviour of Ukraine.
Jenriccks main achievement in his job is that he instructed contractors to paint over pictures of cartoon characters on an immigration centres walls. He thought they looked too welcoming for the little bastards.
Jenrick and Schapps both managed to distract folk from the govt failures in every aspect of british life.
All about the optics.
Sunak is playing the same game.He jetted off to Israel this week. not to do anything costructive. He was there trying to look like a statesman and also to get away from domestic bad news.
It was a pointless visit. But it was all about the optics. Thats all that matters to politicians of all sides. Meanwhile the UK falls apart.
The covid enquiry is exposing the dysfunction in our government during the pandemic. People died because we had people in charge who were not up to the job.
The path to being an MP is simple. Your parents send you to an expensive school which gets you into Oxford.You join the right clubs and network. You then move on to a "thinktank" or a special adviser before being ushered into a seat.
From there ypu become an instant expert on health, education, policing and all sorts of stuff apart from poverty and homelessness..
And you end up leading the country in times of trouble and then people die.
Johnson was a jornalist, Sunak was a hedge fund manager. Neither had any experience of running any organisation. Why would they become competent leaders ?

'Pipsqueak' Grant Shapps tries – and fails – to score political point against BBC
For over 12 minutes, Shapps failed to answer Mishal Husain’s question as to whether he endorsed Israel’s plan
