I think there’s a difference of degree. There’s definitely some small level of corruption going on in UK politics for example, and some questions to be asked about contract awards during Covid, but the amount would seem absolutely laughable and parochial by the standards of most countries.
Bojo was brought down by (amongst other things) having had some colleagues drinking at his official residence during Covid (and lying about it) and questions over who had paid for the wallpaper at his official residence (and lying about it).
The press in the UK usually does what it’s meant to, and sniffs out corruption and unfairness and then makes a huge deal out of them if it was someone from the other side.
EDIT: that said, the UK desperately needs to revise non-dom rules and libel laws, which are waaay too favourable to those with power money as compared to your regular joe.
