Someone from his generation who isn't from a dynasty of privilege doesn't tick all those boxes with ease.

yeah, I agree with this. he's not trad establishment. that doesn't excuse or prevent him from being toxic, though.

Definitely. Fwiw my OP was actually about his lack of political acumen and experience - street-smart vs book-smart, I guess.

I just find it annoying when people talk as if he's some sort of underachieving legacy Etonian given a job in the City in the 70s because of his last name.
