One of the worst things is the way politics has become a career path. It used to be that people went into politics after they were financially secure. These days there appears to be a factory just churning out these identikit career politicians studying PPE, becoming an assistant, then offered a seat once they've shown they can say all the right things, then a junior minister post etc. They thought nursing would improve if they turned it into a profession, with a viable career structure. We ended up with careerist nurses rather than nurses with a desire to help and comfort the ill. Governments seem to thrive on bad decision making. Today's 'professional' politicians are the worst ever.

@RowanProductions And that made them, to a degree, unwhippable, because they were of independent means. Today's lot want nothing more than advancement, so they'll say anything they're told to by the whips. I will say this new raft of Red Wall mp's seem a lot more principled and a lot more patriotic than the public school educated idiots that usually infest the Conservative party. In short, there is potentially a new vitality in the party created by solidly principled working class patriotic mp's completely disillusioned by the Left.
