I’d rather have people in government from working class backgrounds who achieved those places based on merit and hard work, than a bunch of privileged wankers whose parents paid for their opportunities.

This is a fascinating thread
Tom💐@TomHulme7910 Jul 2024
I love watching MPs swearing in following an election. It’s an easy way to learn new names and faces and gives a great insight into the religious, national and political identities of members. Here’s a thread of some of the more interesting moments from the last couple of days🧵

1. A confession: I had never watched a whole episode of Michael Apted’s ‘7 Up’ series. I had of course seen bits and pieces as parts of other programmes but never watched properly. I’m watching in advance of examining Lance Hayward’s thesis @TeleHistories @WarwickFilmTV

3. We both worry together about what’s going to happen to them. I have a vague sense of the stories surrounding the production of the programme from the reading of various TV histories. I know it won’t be a happy life for all of these people

4. I marvel that it’s taken me this long to watch this important piece of TV. I’m grateful to Lance’s fascinating work for steering me toward it. There is little that brings more pleasure than great TV. This is certainly that. More thoughts will follow…
