It's not. The doctor in question is very clear in her views, and expresses them on video as well. You can look her up, if you the stomach for it - I don't blame you if you don't!

Like, you don’t have to be steeped in the ways of Westminster to think that answering “beer, chips and gravy” to a question about your favourite biscuit is just…weird. Like you’re auditioning for a part in The Four Yorkshiremen or something.

An excerpt from the recent New Statesman interview with Burnham: “In London, such Burnhamisms – like when he was asked by Mumsnet to name his favourite biscuit and replied “beer, chips and gravy” – tend to be greeted with a smirk, eyebrows raised. Burnham, of course, thinks such mockery only proves how foreign Westminster has become to the rest of the country. To succeed there, you are expected to become Westminster, to inhabit its mannerisms and unwritten rules; to drop your “lads” in favour of the confected formality and politeness of the political class. How wonderful to see you Tom, and all that.”

I’m not sure anyone should do what Sanchez is doing? His Government is mired in corruption scandals. Doesn’t scream “competence”?

Consider yourself lucky they didn't describe him as "The Hydra guy from the Marvel movies".
