We are objectively in an ethical crisis when it comes to British politics. From Braverman's ongoing dishonesty about Rwanda and speeding to Sunak and Johnson's repeated lawbreaking. The problem is the splash damage that their foolishness causes. We're struggling with myriad issues in the UK and we can't even talk about how to navigate these crises because we're fixated on the never ending stream of scandal- and when we do, finally, exhausted, wade our way to the centre, the moment we could finally discuss the policy we find completely unworkable policy not meant to help British people suffering, only to either aid the conservatives in their mediocrity or to do functionally nothing but give pundits something to point to in their never ending defence of this shower.

What happened to politics? When did we collectively give the greenlight for morals to go out the window, for politicians to decide that lies and scandal were their main business, instead of being public servants? And how do we get back to decency... and can we?
