YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJames O'Brien tries to decipher why Rishi Sunak has chosen to appoint Esther McVey as a Cabinet Office minister. McVey, who was one of the first to be ousted from the 2019 Tory leadership race, has been given the role of 'minister for common sense' and allegedly been tasked with leading the government’s anti-woke agenda.
Branding her new role as a PR appointment, James defines McVey as a 'gammon maypole' – essentially someone who will 'dance around' something Sunak has created, without doing anything 'substantive or meaningful.'
