OMNISHAMBLES

n.

A situation or person that is a mess in every possible way.

Looking at theomnishambleshe presides over, I'm driven to the conclusion that if David Cameron were a Soviet-style sleeper, inserted into the Tory party in his youth on a secret mission from its enemies to destroy it from within, he could not have done a better job.

Meanwhile on Twitter, the hashtag \#RomneyShambles was trending on both sides of the Atlantic.

For instance, \@Pawelmorski's Tweet read: "Americans: This Mitt person is some sort of American Borat, right? \#romneyshambles"

The hashtag is a play on "omnishambles," from the BBC TV series "The Thick of It," a satire of British government.
