The stuff about Johnson is whataboutery. Ignoring that, he was likely the most venal politician of his generation, so he's probably not someone you'd want to be measured against.
In a thread where half the comments are 'they're all the same' it's valid to point out that they are, in fact, not all the same.

Starmer's key campaign messages, were a return to steady, technocratic government, fairness and removing the grift from politics. I can see why people would bristle - the fact his personal ratings are below Sunak's tend to suggest people do care about the appearances.
I think Starmer had an astonishingly easy ride from the media in opposition. His team are disastrously complacent if they expected that to carry over into office.
