Rosie Holt encapsulates the state of the UK government perfectly. And lest you think it's just a parody, you get almost the same result when a real Tory cabinet member has an interview.

"Well, I'm a member of the government. We have a government view, but that government view has not been established. So, therefore, I can't say what, what in my view, the government view is. What I can tell you is that our former prime minister Boris Johnson pledged that benefits would rise with inflation. So that was my, my former view but as for my current view you know, I can't say yet and I will you know double down on it. It might change if it's a distraction, or if it turns out I don't know what I'm talking about."

And if you appreciate her work, she has an online 'tip' jar where you can buy her a coffee.
