The Art of (British) Politics

Jonathan Jones took an art appreciation course and, mirabile dictu, stayed awake. Now, desperate for a column topic, he tries to apply what he learned to the recent debate among candidates for the British Prime Ministerial job, for The Guardian, a Labour paper.

Jones' art metaphor doesn't work. His comment that new things are happening in U.K. politics is certainly true enough, if obvious and not newsworthy.
