So that’s clear: it is absolutely unacceptable for anyone with eugenicist views to have a position of the slightest influence within British politics.

Last week, a 27-year-old Downing Street adviser, Andrew Sabisky, was forced out when it emerged that six years earlier he had advocated, among other disturbing proposals, various forms of genetic selection based on predicted IQ.

‘Eugenics are about selecting ‘for’ good things. Intelligence is largely inherited and it correlates with better outcomes — income, lower mental illness,’ he wrote.

But the furore was really directed at the Prime Minister’s chief adviser, Dominic Cummings, and not just because Sabisky was one of the ‘geeks and weirdos’ he had sought to bring into the policy-making nexus.
