Doesn't exactly demonstrate competent government even in the basics that the Prime Minister of the UK is left to stand in heavy rain outside his official residence looking ridiculous. It's grimly farcical.

Probably the most chaotic announcement from #10 Downing Street in years. I thought there is an hourly weather prediction in all cities. Did he choose to make the announcement in the rain? Couldn't he wait until it wasn't raining?🤔🤣🤣🤣
