Marv is such a pawn. The whole system revolves around flattering people’s egos and making them believe they are special and important. CS Lewis nails this in ‘That Hideous Strength’.
Politics is now more about performative theatre than ever before, I suggest. With Starmer playing the, not very good, lead role. Rees, like the London Mayor, were Corbyn’s poster boys, and nothing more. It's all performative bullshit
I didn't manage to get through all of that, but you've certainly got Marv's number!
Really not so sure about any virtues in Barack Obama...
