Makes a sort of sense

There is now a lobby claiming that a disastrous loss of local council seats in the coming elections can’t be blamed on Bier.
    Why? Because Smarmer is a useless lump who never does anything. Which means that all the disasters were caused by his useless minions.
    Which means that if there is a Labour wipe-out in May, all the minions and Cabinet ministers should be sacked and Bier should be left doing his wooden figurehead job as he has to be ruled blameless.
