Independence Day In The UK?

 


If I needed evidence more than that already copiously afoot in the land, I got it today.

Rishi Sunak has managed to outlast a head of lettuce, but barely.

And his grasp of facts, issues and, most important, symbols have been lacking since he was plucked from the patch a little over a ear ago.

Today we learned "UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced a snap general election for July 4 in a statement outside Downing Street on Wednesday evening, as his Conservative Party faces an uphill struggle to extend its 14 years in power."

It should be only hours before Sir Keir Starmer, the shadow Prime Minister makes this announcement:

"And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the UK declared in one voice: ‘We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We’re going to live on. We’re going to survive. Today we celebrate our Independence Day!'"
