It was in 1980 that Richard Nixon turned General MacArthur’s old axiom on its head, saying of himself that “old politicians usually die but they never fade away”. But what of younger ones whose time has come and gone?
Boris Johnson never really faded; he hangs around like a relative you invited for Christmas who won’t take the hint that it’s now April. And the delusional Liz Truss is the parliamentary equivalent of Covid: just when you thought you were immune, up she pops again. Truss has been all over the media this week because she’s promoting her prime ministerial memoir, which I haven’t read but presume it runs to around eight pages. She insists she doesn’t want to be PM again and no-one is arguing.
And here in Yorkshire no fewer than 11 council chief executives are on a higher salary than Truss when she was prime minister. More surprisingly still, five staff at the tiny and now disbanded Hambleton Council in the North Riding took home more than a quarter of a million pounds each in pay and benefits. Hambleton’s patch covered Northallerton, Thirsk and Stokesley – which made it a nice place to live but hardly a plum location for a go-getting careerist.
