"The stark reality is that for years, Netanyahu has not been leading Israel but rather has been led by those whose support he needs to survive, and his nation has suffered for it, slowly shredding its internal cohesion, democratic legitimacy, and international freedom of action."

This is like saying "if it weren't for women, the 1950s dinner party for the husband's boss to help him in his career industry would collapse to zero overnight."

I went from being the dead spit of my mother in my youth, to now seeing my dad in the mirror every morning. Don't ask me how it happened, all I know is that I don't like it! 😆

As I said on Times Radio, lots of sensible people now think the whole pantomime of how Budgets are done needs to change. 4/4

The very same people who have confected enormous outrage at the OBR's inadvertent release of the EFO an hour early, are furious that a bunch of political correspondents were not given exact guidance as to what her pre Budget position was, a few weeks early 3/

I incline to your more lenient point of view.
