A bloke called Robert, a member of the audience in the debate last night, got a lot of applause for asking this question

“Are you two really the best we’ve got to be the next prime minister of our great country?”

One of those two had a successful career in finance, the other had a succesful career in law, eventually running the CPS.

Both gave up very lucrative careers to go into politics. Both went onto lead their parties, replacing politicians who could be seen as disastrous

I don’t know what Robert has done with his life, but I’ve not done enough with mine to ask a question like that
