@atomicjoy Mixing my filmic metaphors - I was thinking of the chromakey joke
English
Days to draft, yet the letter staggers about, hunting for a literary style to call its own. You give us 'knights in shining armour', 'fighting in the trenches' and 'falling on swords'. Like Wayne's World, hurtling through time & space searching for 'Britain's best days'. Thread

Antithesis is your favourite device, you wield it like a Wiganer with a hot pie barm. Local saint versus Westminster rot, stepping aside yet not away, progress v the great complacency. Everytime you open your mouth you set one thing violently against another. 17/20
English
Birth in the infirmary, football in fields, parades for St George's (sadly minus the apostrophe). You're securing, restoring, building and cleaning up. You turn from Handyman to Andyman - whilst Westminster complacency 'has become a rot', St Andy is draining Bickerstaff dump. 🧵

@ResignWell Also, the non-chronological order of the list of 'events' (Truss coming before Covid) is irksome.

@alanweston @OldLondonW14 Too many mistakes for it to be ChatGPT

@ResignWell @OldLondonW14 Of course I’m sure Mr ChatGPT also had a hand in this resignation letter: most politicians are now unable to function without it, given it makes them look less illiterate than they really are.

@SophyRidgeSky You've quoted the only rhetorical high point

Wes Streeting resigns:
“Where we need vision, we have vacuum. Where we need direction, we have drift”

*Now* I understand why he took so long - it must have taken ages to write such a lengthy resignation letter.

If evidence was ever needed of a man possessed of ego far exceeding his talent, this resignation letter from @wesstreeting is it.

Alas, that fine antithesis is merely a flash in the pan, or rather an NHS bedpan. You stagger on, swelling the lexicon of disaster with tyranny, pandemic, war, austerity, Brexit and Liz Truss, before collapsing into one long, tired sentence. Take a break. 14/20
English
This reads as if you've locked Churchill & JFK in a cupboard but every now and again we hear their muffled voices. In para 9 you deliver a decent antithesis, boosted by anaphora & alliteration ‘....where we need vision, we have a vacuum. Where we need direction..'

Taking one for the nation - Richard Johnson explains the intricacies of leadership challenges in Great Britain to an American audience.
He also offers an excellent library backdrop.

I was on CNN this morning to explain the process of a Labour leadership challenge to an international audience.

"This above all: to thine own self be true — and therefore, as a Minister in this government, I must tender my resignation..."
My hopes are high for the Hamlet of the Health Service's bash at a resignation letter.

In Wes Streeting’s office there’s a @spectator editorial pinned to the notice board. Its title? The Hamlet of the Health Service…

Whilst we wait for the worst of Wes, here's a review of Boris Johnson's 2023 epic resignation letter.

Boris, you’ve fired your 1035 word resignation from Africa and it resembles a word safari. From ‘kangaroos’, to’ witches’ you aim fire at your enemies one by one. The tricolon ‘They know’ in your second paragraph tolls like the bells of Big Ben. (1/4)

Take a moment to wonder at the the quality of the prose...
