I object to politicians entering politics without ever having worked a real job.
They are the politicians that, when elected, eventually end up in government and make policy that is out of touch most of the electorate. They know this, so in order to balance it out, they throw in "gimmes," that they know is attractive to the naive, they also know the country couldn't afford them, but hey, £250 billion in investment in a single area sounds amazing, when you know the square root of **** all about how economies work.
