Follows the story of a group of British intelligence agents who serve in a dumping ground department of MI5 called Slough House after the big mistakes they've made that resulted to the end of their mainstream careers.
Please stop with the politics and get back to the topic.
I've started reading Slow Horses and, yeah, the show pretty much follows the book. There's a slow horse who, so far, is just a name in the book and was written out of the show (Kay White?) and there were only 3 kidnappers in the book instead of 4. For once, I'm glad I watched the adaptation before reading the book.

Yet you have Starmer and Millibrand....
There is even a better example - Tulsi Gabbard, who parrots RU propaganda 1:1 and by some miracle also is Director of National Intelligence, haha
So she has a far better grasp on reality and has far better knowledge of the situation than you do.. OK !

one little tit bit. Jaffrey = Sadiq Khan the hated ( by some) London mayor. Catherine shouted out "why do you hate motorists?" referring to the London ULEZ, to get him off the stage when he was was about to be killed by the sniper.

Season final.
Roddy Ho, after the interview he was just standing around...doing nothing. And in the last half of the episode he basically didn't exist.
Shirley...apart from headshotting that one terrorist, also nothing.
I could understand it. Shirley, as a Slough Houser, nothing expected of her, did more than enough with that action. She aint no James I mean Jane Bond.
Roddy standing around like a hapless dipshit also perfectly suited his character.
Whelan, completely understandable how he got the job. You'd say it's completely unrealistic that such an inept twit could land such a plum job.... but you'd be underestimating the pull of the British class system. It boggled my mind when I was there. Open your mouth and whatever accent pops out pigeon holes you for life. There is no moving up or down from your assigned station. Can totally believe how mumsy or p'pa would have "had a word with the home secretary, we used to break wind at college together you know" and hey presto, posh berk is sorted, albeit now in a job wayyyyy over his head.

Can someone explain how Claude Whelan got appointed to First Desk? He couldn't possibly have been an agent!
Personally, I think he is under qualified to be appointed as a janitor.
