How anyone can argue he isn't in the elite is beyond me, he went to Dulwich College, worked in the City of London, banks at the same place as the Queen and has been an elected politician since 1999

How people like him and Boris Johnson are portrayed as anti-establishment, and people believe it, is truly baffling and shows the power the newspapers in particular still hold
This is the "reluctant politician" who has tried to become an MP seven times I take it?

If it is really a "them and us" world, then Messrs Farage, Johnson, Trump, Rees-Mogg etc. etc. are decidedly on the them side of the divide.
