I dunno.

“levelling up” always sounded like a successfully pitched policy idea, where everyone was so enmoured about how clever they thought the wording was ("It's like in a video game, see?") that the details never really mattered.

So dig deeper into the scandal?

It was and is a scandal like the leader of Reform in Wales being a traitor but our news media goes, oh well.

Actually, they obfuscate and tell us what is up is really down etc... and then we have all the misinformed noise and simplistic solutions championed.

I appreciate this is beside and point, and people can't help how they age, but he's 45?!?

But you, see Farage is the face ugly, angry, Gammon faced racism. It's all very unseemly. Even their flags are tacky. Keir's racism is of the grown-ups in the room variety. It's very sensible, legitimate concerns addressing racism and with smart flags and everything!

I really wish 'gender critical' activists would grasp that we're not too scared to agree with them.

We think they're malicious idiots. if anything, we're scared to publicly *disagree* with them, because they harass, bully and dox women who don't buy into their cultist nonsense.

She's been like this for ages now. If you didn't spot it, it was only because the Guardian tried to limit her transphobic screeds to once a month or so. Transphobia and "Woody Allen has never done a questionable thing in his entire life" are her twin obsessions.

She's been whining about losing "at least a dozen" friends across numerous articles for years now. Of course, it's framed as "so much for the so-called tolerant left" rather than that everyone thinks you're a singularly obsessed transphobic dickhead.

Isn't the problem more not that Labour should boot him out, but that he basically is Labour at the moment? It's been so depressing.

The fictional reputation of the Necronomicon to send its readers insane doesn't seem so fantastical after you've been subjected to the 'Forbidden Poems'.

It's always been my feeling that Telegraph and Spectator most eagerly chased the modern American version of conservativism. Probably for financial reasons. But in doing so, it ended up being the home of British hacks most likely to believe in QAnon and the Great Replacement.

The Telegraph is so jaw-droppingly repugnant and swivel-eyed that, as ludicrous as it sounds, the Mail could be a slightly calming influence on its worst excesses. I mean, they won't, but they could.

No they are quotes. That doesn't make them true. The "science" in the Cass review has been pulled apart by serious institutions.

THAT'S a fact.

Funny that the Guardian doesn't tell you that, isn't it.

You don't expect Danny to actually try and learn anything, do you? He's read a couple of articles in the broadsheet and a few tweets by Rowling, so he's fully versed on the subject, thank you very much. Especially as he can fall on his 'common sense!
