Russian election campaign off to a shaky start

The Russian agents feigning interest in a general election are doing a poor job. Lead agent Boris Johnson has even been contradicting himself within a single sentence.

The man hoping to clean up on 12 December has been recently seen trying to wield a mop. This photo opportunity went as well as could be expected, with Johnson merely shifting dirt from one place to another. His attempt to mop up the water went equally well.

Other pathetic attempts to pull wool over the public’s eyes were just as successful. Quasi-Muscovite Kwasi Kwarteng proudly bandied about the opposition’s spending plans without an awareness of his own party’s position. Or at least his paymasters had told him to keep schtumm.

Meanwhile the Kremlin’s house newspaper, the Daily Mail, is busy pushing the angle that an increase in the minimum wage is a great idea, if Sajid Javid says so. Naturally it sets the nation on course to instant bankruptcy whenever Jeremy Corbyn proposes it.

Javid was also wheeled out to prove that the real reds under the bed are blue Russians not Corbyn and co. Slag off the opposition, present nothing in return. The Russians have clearly either failed to get their narrative across, or something got lost in translation.

From the Trots to the tarts. Liz “You are what you eat” Truss has been selecting tarts, joyfully, presumably for her own personal use. What the relevance to the election campaign could be is anyone’s guess. We can be sure that she paid for her tarts using her own roubles.

Vladimir Putin is, as usual, playing inscrutable, but, behind that calm visage, he must be deeply disappointed with the bungling efforts of his low rent puppets. Still, all is not lost, since his funding of Jeremy Corbyn’s wavering stance is doing all the necessary work.

Rumours abound that Putin has bought James Cleverly a new Brexit countdown clock.
