Put not your trust in princes, nor in the Son of Man in whom there is no help. The old motto that the King can do no wrong is applied by their cronies to Prime Ministers as well.
But once they’re bound by their advisers, there is nowhere for them to hide. The brains behind the labour operation. The Queen of the blob. The great betrayer of civil service impartiality. The leader of the original Inquisition into Boris Johnson, Sue Gray, no less, has lost the Downing Street power struggle.
If history shows anything, it is that when the great adviser to a leader goes, the leader himself can often follow shortly afterwards.
Nero abandoned Seneca and Rome burned King Charles. The first thought his execution was a punishment for abandoning Thomas Wentworth eight years earlier.

Alastair Campbell’s demise predicated Blair’s fall, while for Theresa May, once Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill went, it was never glad confident morning again. When the adviser goes. Things often turn sour.
For weeks those with an agenda against Sue Gray were briefing the media against her, even revealing her salary to the BBC. This decision by Starmer to let her go shows weakness and encourages one thing – more leaks.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
If leaking to the press does down your internal enemies, then others will learn and will do so, and that will be to the detriment of Mr. McSweeney, Sue Gray’s replacement. This illustrates a fundamental dysfunction behind the scenes. But does it affect policy? Well, recent events suggest that it may.
In recent days, speculation has mounted that Labour’s policy to put VAT on private education any significant policy to which it committed during the election is now in chaos.
Similarly, plans to raid pensions by reducing tax relief on those earning £50,000 or more per year have reportedly been scrapped, probably because they realised the effect it would have on their overpaid public sector union cronies who would be hit by such a move.
Perhaps most importantly, the entire notion of securing the platform on which the Labour Party stood may well be in doubt.
Keir Starmer is the UK Prime Minister GB NEWS
Cynically seizing on and promulgating the misconception of the Truss mini-Budget. Secure-nomics was invented as a means of putting the public’s unease about the economy to rest. In reality, it merely means economic paralysis.
But the Chancellor could be on the brink of betraying her own economic mantra by abandoning the pledge to keep the Tory’s fiscal rules and instead redefine the definition of debt, allowing her to borrow a whopping further £50billion.
This is utter folly when the economy, when the British nation, when all of us as taxpayers, are effectively so heavily indebted now, this could trigger increased interest rates with a damaging effect on mortgage holders and business investments.
Jacob Rees-Mogg claimed that the PM will struggle without his adviser

It is a policy the Government is apparently tempted by bad policies, real thought out, or a symptom of a disarray at the centre of power in No10 Downing Street.
It is not true, as I’m sure you all know, that a fish rots from the head down. It actually rots from its guts, from the bacteria in its stomach.
This Government is rotting from the centre of Downing Street. The Prime Minister’s own office.
