NOTHING WORKS IN UK! BECAUSE POLITICIANS HAVE NEVER HAD A PROPER JOB

Why does NOTHING seem to work properly in Britain anymore? The borders. The prisons. The NHS. Housing. Roads. Water. Government IT. The criminal justice system. Major infrastructure. We pay more and more tax — but where are the results? So tonight I'm asking a deliberately provocative question: IS ONE OF BRITAIN'S BIGGEST PROBLEMS THAT TOO MANY OF THE PEOPLE RUNNING THE COUNTRY HAVE NEVER HAD A PROPER JOB IN THE REAL WORLD?
Look at the people at the top of British politics. How many have spent a substantial part of their working lives running a business, meeting a payroll, selling something, making something, working on a building site, driving a van, working in a factory, serving customers or simply dealing with the pressures ordinary workers and employers face every day?
Instead we've created the PROFESSIONAL POLITICIAN. University. Political researcher. Think tank. Union. Special adviser. MP. Minister. Cabinet. Politics isn't something they enter after experiencing life. POLITICS IS THEIR LIFE. And I think that matters. Where are the awkward, independent-minded MPs prepared to tell their own party: "That's complete rubbish and I'm not voting for it"? Where are the characters? The entrepreneurs? The people who've actually succeeded — or failed — outside Westminster?
Last night millions of phones across England and Wales suddenly started screaming with an Emergency Alert warning about the extreme wildfire risk. Fine. Fire chiefs believed the danger justified it. But it got me thinking. WHAT DOES THIS GOVERNMENT CONSIDER AN EMERGENCY? We're in August. It's extremely hot. Most of us can work that out.
But what about the prisons? What about the possibility of serious offenders being released early because we haven't built enough prison places? What about the extraordinary controversy over two men convicted of the manslaughter of PC Andrew Harper potentially qualifying for early release? What about foreign national offenders occupying prison places when the Government should be doing everything possible to remove those who can lawfully be deported? And what about the Channel? More than 3,000 people had crossed in small boats in the first fortnight of Andy Burnham's premiership, despite his promise to be "relentless" on the issue.
These are the things many ordinary people are talking about. So why does Westminster so often appear to be having a completely different conversation? THEY DON'T LIVE IN OUR WORLD. And perhaps that's why they're so frightened of politicians who can bypass Westminster and connect directly with voters. Whatever you think of Nigel Farage, he understands how to communicate with people who believe the political establishment neither listens to them nor understands them.
Perhaps that's the real political divide now. Not simply LEFT versus RIGHT. THE POLITICAL CLASS versus EVERYONE ELSE I want YOUR views.
Is Britain suffering because we've created a generation of career politicians? Should MPs have substantial real-world experience before entering Parliament? Would Parliament be better with more builders, nurses, engineers, soldiers, shopkeepers, farmers, factory workers and entrepreneurs — and fewer professional politicians?
Or is the whole idea nonsense and political experience exactly what ministers need? JUST ASKING!
