Yes, in fairness I think you're right, and I think the same but didn't notice I was being hypocritical in pointing out his wealth / credentials whilst knowing absolutely nothing about Griffith, who I merely assume is awful because he's a tory.
I suppose it matters where they made their wealth, but it's true without delving into his past / non exec directorships etc, being the head accountant of a huge company probably shouldn't automatically disqualify one from standing. On the face of it, Media also probably isn't the worst background to come from (compared to oil majors / arms / other things)
The motives should be heavily questioned though - I've no idea if Griffith has been, Sunak certainly wasn't before being made chancellor then PM.
