I've been listening to the second half of The Rest Is Politics interview with #Kwarteng, and my take away is what TRIVIAL people everyone involved is. Kwarteng is supposed to be one of the intellects of the #Tory party, but they can none of them – not Kwarteng, not Campbell, not even Stewart – string two concepts together.
Leading: 74. Kwasi Kwarteng: Liz Truss, becoming Chancellor, and Britain on the brink (Part 2)
At the end of the interview, Stewart sums up by saying "you get the sense that [#Kwarteng] is very clever". I didn't. I got the sense that he was rather stupid, rather shallow, rather trivial; but very posh.
And I think that the problem at the heart of UK parliamentary politics is that they mistake a posh accent for intelligence.
Remember the petition about "Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state" & the response saying "Those selling games must comply with UK consumer law.

“Across the country, private companies are swooping in to buy local water and sewer systems from the governments that own them. Then they jack up the prices -- forcing normal people to pay higher rates not just for the water that comes out of their faucets, but even the water that comes out of their toilets.
British Journalism not even entertaining the notion that the contaminated water could come from a sewage outflow, of the sort our Water Companies are notorious for.
Must be Refugees or Queers or something, innit Brits? /s
"In the latest local elections, the Greens took more seats from the Conservatives than from Labour (32 to 31). It’s the second wave of a dramatic surge: in May last year, three-quarters of the party’s gains were from the Tories across the south, south-east & east of England. Much of this was in picturesque areas where, says Green co-leader Adrian Ramsay, locals feel “overlooked” or “left behind”. #GreenParty#UKPol
