The problem is that he's like a new rich person because like the old rich people or like the

0:04.8

sort of rich Tories that are sort of like asset rich but kind of cash poor, I think are very

0:08.9

different from like people like him who probably like is kind of a new rich guy for whom like

0:14.6

the Tory party was sort of the avenue in which like perhaps back in 2010 or like in the 2010s is

0:20.7

like the avenue that people like them sort of 2010 or like in the 2010s is like the avenue that

0:21.4

people like them sort of go to the upwardly mobile kind of consultant class who sort

0:26.0

of want to try and do kind of technocratic politics because it's like a little bit different

0:29.9

and it reminds them of like the secondment that they went on when they were doing their grad

1:11.4

It's cool. That's a real affront to, I think, like, people who are sort of notionally Tories

1:16.3

and for whom all they have left is like nostalgia bait to kind of be of a prime minister that.

1:20.8

It just does not give a shit about any of that. And like, I don't think it's completely, I don't think it's completely wrong, but I think it's just like, you know, yeah, he's sort of in a place where he clearly just doesn't want to be in.
