2017 "Pot calling the kettle black award"

There have been some strong candidates for this year's "pot calling the kettle black award."

Jeremy Corbyn had been the favourite after he said that Boris Johnson's article about Brexit was a "lapse of discipline" which would "not have happened" on his team.

This from a man who has lost 95 front benchers in sackings and waves of mass resignations, who was sacking people for voting to stay in the single market one week and threatening to sack others for supporting the Eu withdrawal bill the next.

But in the "Pot calling the kettle black" stakes nobody could possible top the accusation from North Korean president Kim Jong in when he  President Kim called President Trump deranged.

Had that one come from almost any other world leader I suspect that not a few people would have agreed with it, but with the possible exception of Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, Kim is probably the head of government who comes nearest to making The Donald look like a great statesman by comparison ...
