Abstract

In the last couple of weeks in politics, what we’ve witnessed feels like a rollercoaster of farce. ‘Party gate’ and questions of whether Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, ate cake at his impromptu birthday party back in 2020, when, as Northern Ireland minister Conor Burns, claimed, he’d been “ambushed by cake” (he subsequently backtracked), has created the sense of confusion and crisis at the heart of government (ITV, 2022).
