Ian Lavery is on Question Time tonight. The Internet will have a seizure over his accent. That never happens over Boris Johnson or Jacob Rees-Mogg, who are assumed not to have an accent, in the way that their party is assumed to be non-political.
Thus, Rona Fairhead can be made a Conservative Peer and Minister straight from the BBC, while on the same day Nick Robinson can squeal like a pig that anyone dares to impugn the BBC's impartiality. Oh, and has anyone seen Laura Kuenssberg's bodyguard? She really was an invited speaker at a Conservative Party Conference event. It is her bodyguard that is this week's fake news story about her, put out by the BBC itself.
What a shock these people are going to get when either Johnson or Rees-Mogg is up against Angela Rayner. They regard it as self-evident that those two are eminently qualified to be Prime Minister, while she is bereft of the slightest claim to that or any other office. But somehow, the rest of us, out here in our bubble and our echo chamber, might not necessarily see it like that.
