The simple explanation is the British cult of the amateur, alongside the modern belief that management is a general skill which can be applied to anything.... these two things have been joined together in our political class for decades & the result(s) as you suggest are pretty clear!
(This is why Timpson as Prisons Minister was a greta move, and a major disappointment when he stepped down yesterday)

@ChrisMayLA6@mastodon.me.uk Oo, the British cult of the amateur! So true! As we know, there are skills to management - but as you suggest, the belief that this general idea of management can be applied to anything is a huge problem - and one that is going to keep happening, unfortunately.
