Why do so many politicians struggle to seem human? James O’Brien looks at authenticity in British politics: from Boris Johnson’s carefully crafted 'chaotic' persona and Liz Truss’ disastrous brief premiership, to Rishi Sunak’s struggles to connect and Keir Starmer’s robotic image. And do people seriously want to go for a pint with Nigel Farage? Now, as Andy Burnham attempts to explain difficult decisions on early prison releases and faces attacks over taking a holiday, the question is whether a more open and relatable style of politics can rebuild trust.
