Politicians – self indulgence versus self discipline?

Looking at one of our Cabinet Ministers, it looks like they rather llke sitting down and eating cake. They do not look lean, mean and hungry. Rather they look comfortable, complacent, relaxed maybe, easy going, happy in their success. Luxuriating in what success has brought – not driven to achieve more….

Most of the Cabinet have a ’rounded’ look – double chins, carryng a bit of weight. Starmer looks flabby to the point of unwell. Can any of them get into their clothes from when they were younger?

Think of people like Wes Streeting…..

If they are long on self-indulgence – how likely is it that they are also self disciplined? Favourite quote is ‘ I’ll just have one more pie’….

They do not look fit, energetic, full of vim…..

And therefore how likely is it that they will make tough decisions – tough on themselves and tough on others – such as reducing the welfare bill?

And as unhealthy people, they are in the diabetes waiting room, and generally about to become burdens on the NHS. They just do not look right

So presumably they will continue to waddle around in their comfort zone…… .
