And I don’t think it was just Spitting Image that made me think this.
There were less career politicians certainly. There were a disproportionate number of males who were privately educated Oxbridge graduates. What’s changed?

When were you last entranced by the rhetoric of #Streeting, #Mahmood, #Reed or #Kendall ?
@pedestrians1st nor are #starmer & #Mahmood & co entirely blameless in this for their adoption of #reform rhetoric and posturing, the “island of strangers” and othering of anyone who doesn’t fit their perverted notions of “Britishness”
A pox on all their houses
