At the end of the interview, Stewart sums up by saying "you get the sense that [#Kwarteng] is very clever". I didn't. I got the sense that he was rather stupid, rather shallow, rather trivial; but very posh.
And I think that the problem at the heart of UK parliamentary politics is that they mistake a posh accent for intelligence.
I've been listening to the second half of The Rest Is Politics interview with #Kwarteng, and my take away is what TRIVIAL people everyone involved is. Kwarteng is supposed to be one of the intellects of the #Tory party, but they can none of them – not Kwarteng, not Campbell, not even Stewart – string two concepts together.

Kwasi #Kwarteng to stand down as Spelthorne MP
And another hopeless #toriesOut accepts the ineviteable
50 Tory MPs have so far decided not to stand at #2024GE - depriving us of many potential #portillo moments, but not I suspect all of them
Oddly, his former boss Liz #truss is not standing down - but then everything she does is odd......
BBC NewsKwasi Kwarteng to stand down as Spelthorne MPThe MP says it has been an "honour to serve the residents of Spelthorne since 2010".
The first rat of many deserting the sinking ship. Time to bring an end to the damage being done by an incompetent bunch of toffs. Time for a new beginning. Starmer doesn’t excite but anything is better than corruption and negligence. #bbc #tories #uk #politics #kwarteng to stand down as Spelthorne MP https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surrey-68214536

Suprise, suprise…even with a 18,393 majority and sitting in a constituency that has only voted Labour once in past 100 years, Kwasi #Kwarteng is standing down at next election.
But how much work has he actually done for his constituency since his mini-budget that crashed the economy and has been paid for by those with mortgages ever since?
Not much…too busy doing media appearances and landing himself greenwashing gigs with Australian iron ore companies.

#DidoHarding wasted £37bn in two years - what happened to it all?
#Truss and #Kwarteng wasted £74bn in an afternoon - why aren’t they on trial?
Yesterday evidence was produced showing Kwarteng was told exactly what his 'mini-budget' would do by OBR. But he did it anyway.
If #Johnson, #Truss & #Kwarteng had any sense of morality they would hand back the money paid to them when their Govt collapsed. These characters have financially crippled many UK families, shame seems to be a word they don't understand. https://tinyurl.com/3yuan3zx #ToryCorruption

#Aitkens is on #BBCLaurak saying we have high inflation because of increased employment levels.
[How does that work then 
]
Earlier on #Ridge she blamed the high inflation on our reliance on a grid to supply gas.
[Huh? ]
By the end of the day, she may say it was the failure of Mae Muller to win the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest.

@mirrorpolitics getting out into lucrative private sector where they'll be pimping their clients to the next govt? Just like #kwarteng & #hancock. Hopefully we'll get #labour or #libdem coalition to save us.
