Great piece again Mic - these people certainly don’t let reality get in the way when it comes to the utter drivel that they write and the majority of their readers consume. Doublethink and doublespeak are alive and well in British politics it seems.
I’m no expert when it comes to classical history, but the recent series of Conservative prime ministers seems to prove the adage that we should be very wary of those who covet power.
I suggest an ‘incompetence index’ - to be determined by dividing some defined metric of personal ambition by demonstrated ability . Truss’s would be off the charts.

Thanks, William. Truss would break the scale.
