Definition of a gravy train, doing very little for very large rewards.
One of the worst aspects of this is the effect it has on people who paint all politicians as being unprincipled money grabbing opportunists.
A percentage of them will fail to show up at future elections, or turn to Reform because "they can't be any worse".

All it needs is one little push - preferably from us - and this once peaceful island will explode. It may not take much, maybe an article with some badly researched facts, maybe some exaggerated and provocative hyperbole, and before we know it there'll be blood on the streets, and flames too, as millions of furious citizens attack each other, the police, and the emergency services, not to mention the armed forces should they tragically be called in to deal with the hate-filled mob rampaging through our cities, towns and villages, armed with burning torches and pitchforks, calling for justice, free speech and the immediate death of everyone they don't like. (Top journalism, Ed). Make no mistake, if Britain even exists by next week, we will run this piece again until someone sparks the tinderbox on the brink of the powderkeg that... (cont. for entire summer).
No one sums up the utter shamelessness of the British press and the ugly politics of Farage quite like Private Eye.

No, I get that. I suppose Trump is the most extreme example of an amoral narcissist. How do his followers live with themselves going along with his religious charades?

I'm a bit cautious about automatically dismissing people with strong religious beliefs. I know several very decent and devoted Catholics and CofE followers.
However, Mogg likes to wear his Catholicism so loudly, while lacking any morals or principles. Surely no one is fooled by his sick act.

Notable that Andrew thought the interview had gone well for him when everyone else saw it as the end of his career in the Royal family.
