God you’re so extreme and use the tactic of misinterpretation so regularly.

Who has said that we should ‘remove ambition’? Who has criticised anyone for having ambition? MP’s point was that when ambition outweighs ability, as it clearly does, imo, in Jenrick’s case, then you have a problem. My point was, that I’ve come across many people in many walks of life who’s ambition has unrealistically exceeded their ability - from kids at school who think they’re going to be pro footballers to Liz Truss believing she’d be a successful PM - and it invariably ends in tears.
