It can’t be a great time to be a politician, and I don’t just mean for those Tory MPs who have just realised that investment banking/the media/working as a Russian mercenary in Central Africa is a lot more attractive than losing their seats/deposits/last shreds of their dignity at the next general election. No, I mean, just being in politics must be exhausting. Aren’t there better ways of amassing vast wealth and wielding a God-like power over the British people, such as being a dentist or Gregg Wallace?
These thoughts passed through my mind the other day when hearing the news of the King’s illness. Twitter (screw you Musk™) slowly responded to the news, initially, at least, with a certain degree of respect.
