I'm sure the home nations of my international readership - all ten of you! - have their own domestic examples of politicians jumping centre stage to capture the headlines as they inflict us all with their their 'boring-snoring' and mostly useless tales from the 'Covid Front'! Perhaps the most sick-inducing one I have seen - and which I only saw because I couldn't find the 'do-flicker-thingie' to eradicate him - was the ghastly Andy Burnham MP, whose pontificating, smug, self-serving and utterly useless address to the Prime Minister was allowed on my TV screen despite the fact that it was intended entirely for the 'Mancs' who were daft enough to elect him and that sad collection of sub-normals who constitute today's Labour party!
If you watched his performance and failed to see the 'bleedin' obvious' chicanery of it, then you deserve a Labour government and all that it will bring forth!
Slight correction: Burnham is no longer an MP, just the Mayor of Manchester.
What's really amusing about his cloddish interventions is the fact that the Corbynites hate him as much as the Tories. He learnt his greasy trade under the aegis of The Master (Blair) and Tessa Jowell. Anything for power, slippery and devoid of principles.

Burnham got it lucky by being elected Mayor as he could have lost his parliamentary seat. This Mayorship racket is just another tier of beaurocracy and costs a fortune to the taxpayer. No benefits for the people can be derived from it.

Thanks for the correction, 'W', I will hand in my lines at the end of the day!
And thank you, Jimmy, for another wee gem of wisdom!
