Esther McVey said Rishi Sunak had turned the economy around and the Radio 4 audience’s devastating response said it all
Here’s Rishi Sunak’s minister for common sense, Conservative MP Esther McVey, rallying the troops at Radio 4’s Any Questions programme.
Displaying not necessarily an overwhelming amount of common sense herself, McVey said the hapless prime minister had succeeded in turning the economy around, and the audience’s response said it all.

It’s the howls of derision from the audience that confirm the game is well and truly up for this government. https://t.co/UXSGyiAt5p

McVey is completely at sea when the audience laugh at her… she simply doesn’t have any idea how stupid she sounds.
