I worry the general public have been frog-boiled into accepting post-truth populism
This is a better way of expressing what I was trying to say. I think the media bears a little responsibility for this by constantly taking the bait / mini-scandal dangled in each news cycle, which distracts from more serious issues.

Exactly this. I worry the general public have been frog-boiled into accepting post-truth populism. Any rational politician with sensible, actionable ideas just gets lost in the noise or called boring.
On the plus side, he’s completely wrecked the Tory party and they’re kind of tearing themselves apart with culture war bullshit now.
