Put the items in your preferred order.
Truss's Mini-Budget Meltdown
Liz Truss unveiled unfunded tax cuts, tanked the pound, then scrapped nearly everything before being outlasted by a lettuce. A masterclass in policy collapse.
Sunak's Net Zero Retreat
Rishi Sunak rolled back key climate commitments while insisting Britain was still 'leading the world'. The cognitive dissonance was Olympic-grade.
Starmer's Β£28bn Green Pledge Drop
Labour's signature green investment promise was watered down, delayed, then effectively binned before the election. Pragmatism or pure cynicism?
Cameron's Brexit Boomerang
David Cameron called the vote to settle Tory infighting, campaigned to Remain, lost, and legged it by lunchtime. The gift that keeps on giving.
Johnson's Partygate Pirouette
Boris Johnson denied gatherings, then admitted them, then claimed he didn't know they were parties. A choreographed dance of denial.
