    Note for Americans not up on British English: Public school as used here does not mean what it means in American English. It’s what Americans would call a private prep school; an expensive non-government school mostly for well connected rich kids.

    Nige thought he was gonna pull a fast one, talk his talk and play the noble martyr, to dodge questions over a £5m “gift” from a friend - who works in an industry that Nige has started lobbying for… but now it looks like he might be going toe-to-toe for his political credibility with an, admittedly intergalactic and sentient, bin. Count Binface to give him his full name.

    single issue politician campaigns on single issue for years

    gets what they’re campaigning for

    is a disaster for electorate

    gets repeatedly called out for corruption

    Fast forward to repeated electoral success

    Nice one.
