One week after announcing an increase in National Insurance Contributions for people who don't have a boss to blame, Theresa May's Conservative government has announced that the plan was quite clearly the work of the Devil himself and don't have a clue how anybody could have believed that they meant it.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer's explanation that "it's still the right thing to do, but we care more about how we look and getting re-elected than doing what's right", was not considered as being the most robust excuse for a U turn so big that it can be seen from space. It was, however, greeted as being at least more honest than the usual government response.
At Prime Minister's Insult Time, Mrs May said that throwing her Chancellor under the bus for a cock-up that neither of them saw coming when both of them should have was "the only thing a Prime Minister who has never faced a general election can do."
Jeremy Corbyn said that this showed a government in 'chaos', and we should all believe him because if there is anyone who recognises political chaos then it's Jeremy Corbyn.
