Throw in Ken Clarke, John Major along with Heseltine who comment on today’s Tory party and politics generally as either Lords or knights and compare with what the UK will have in the future with Rees Mogsy and Priti Patel.
I fully agree with your final paragraph, and the same could be said for Labour. Imagine having someone like Tony Ben on the labour front bench and what a difference he would make today compared to the current administration.
