Like most of us the rich tend to build their worldview around their own interests. (Welfare = taxes on me so bad).
But their interests diverge more from the majority than the norm. And they have fewer people around them willing to point out when they're wrong.

Starmer is only the most recent chapter in a very long story of how Westminster fails Scotland.
Obviously he should go. Obviously he will. But Scotland doesn't just need a new chapter in the same story.
