Modern Neoliberal Politics, both the "center"-Right and the "opposing" performance of "center"-"Left".
Whilst politicians, the media and (ideally for them) the public opinion are talking about gender minorities' access to toilets, they're not talking of wealth inequality, the lack of access to housing and general empoverishmnt of young people and the "World-beating" bad management of Britain for the last 4 decades (especially since 2007, extra specially so since the Leave Referendum).
The more politicians talk about moral subjects and scapegoat foreigners ("immigrants" when performing a "Right" character, "foreign interference" when performing a "Left" character) for a country's mismanagement, the more they're hidding how much they're mismanaging the country when it comes to what affects everyday life for most people, be it because those politicians' only real competence is in managing appearances and deceit or because they're only really motivated by the rewards they will get from the very rich friends they make by making laws and managing the country for the benefit of very rich, very thankful people (and screw everybody else).
TL;DR - this shit is just yet another Act in the Theatrical Production which is mainstream politics in Neoliberalism and its purpose is to entertain people to make them forget that the purpose of elected politicians in Representative Democracy is to Manage a country well in the interest of their voters, not to be Improv Thespians for the entertainment of the masses.
