In the distant past – well, not very distant, let’s be honest – they were called party-political programs.
These days, when it comes to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, they have been renamed “addresses to the nation”.
Not only that, he made a teaser trailer just in case we weren’t excited about it already.

“So you want to spend money during the cost of living crisis and your supposedly valuable time shooting a movie-style trailer for a speech you’re giving tomorrow, and you want it to look like a little boy called into the sinister headmaster’s office at night? “

What kind of nonsense is this? You keep making these little vanity videos. They are a joke. You are a joke. This nonsense does not make you a statesman. It’s just tiresome PR for the pathologically gullible. Put away the recording kit and get to the damn work.

I used to know an old school entertainer in Harlow who could do this, but it’s still impressive. Rishi does everything without moving his lips. Maybe next time he can do it while drinking a glass of water. https://t.co/fVwwfNveBm

I’m not sure all the pretentious behind-the-scenes stuff helps you look like a prime minister.
