Much to enjoy here. But this is my favourite bit:
'Some in the shadow cabinet are pushing her to be more explicit in her rejection of Truss’s economic agenda however, in what they are saying would be a “Krushchev moment”, referring to the former Russian leader’s denouncement of Stalinism in 1956.'

I see three distinct phases. Pre-Fox, when opinion was diverse but actual facts were indisputable.
Fox/Trump, where objective truth was subjected to the false equivalence of ‘alternative facts’ (ie lies).
And now, where media & tech platform owners collude with him to drown out the truth altogether.
