I go on about it, but the party's absolute alienation from the professional and corporate classes is a real self-perpetuating disaster.

The failure to see civil servants as professionals as well. "Civil servants are against us because they're all woke Marxists." No, guys, civil servants hate you because you froze their pay for 14 years and spend all your time slagging them off in the press (which they literally can't respond to).

What's stark about this one is...Kemi Badenoch has praised Sue Gray, whose job was very like what Actually Existing HR was!

Ever since Brexit there has been a tendency by the party to explain to people what their jobs are in the manner of someone who just had a great idea down the pub.

It's the triumph of vibes over anything remotely reality-adjacent. I'm not entirely sure how they regain control of their senses, but this ain't it.
