“He is neither old nor young, tall nor short, loud nor quiet warm nor cold, he seems to have come from nowhere and is entirely unremarkable.” This was the withering assessment given by the Queen of Harold Wilson in 1964, shortly after her first meeting at Buckingham Palace with the then-Labour prime minister. Well, that’s according to Netflix’s hit show, the Crown, which provided the nation with another season to binge-watch this weekend.

I’m Ashley Cowburn, and welcome to The Independent’s Inside Politics newsletter.
