Is he the sleaziest MP ever who makes John Stonehouse the model of propriety and Angela Rayner and Lee Anderson cerebral giants?
When I first started following politics, men like Roy Jenkins, Tony Crosland, Denis Healy and Tony Benn, while often wrong in their political outlook depending on your views about the EU, grammar schools, homosexuality and abortion were deemed intellectuals with a likely lofty disdain for their overwhelmingly working class electorate.
And when you look at the seat of elite Sheffield Hallam comprising doctors, solicitors, accountants and business men/woman, represented by a total neanderthal like Jared O'Mara as their MP, you see the whole scenario turned on its head. I dont suppose many of his constituents would turn up to one of his surgeries expecting that he might be a source of help.
On the positive side it show a career as an MP is within the reach of anyone...or maybe that isn't a positive, when we need lawmakers with a certain amount of integrity and intelligence.
