The media takes its share of the blame for being complicit in cultivating these personalities. Softball interviews after softball interviews.

Compare and contrast with BBC Local Radio skewering Truss the other week. They still remember what journalism is. In SW1 they’re commentators, like in the WWE they’re just part of the show.
