Fair. Though with transphobes still in the party, it doesn’t fill me with hope. I really hope that when Jeremy and Zarah’s party becomes established, some clear pro-trans policy is made. It’s frustrating, cause I feel like they’re the only real contenders against reform :/

Not trying to be difficult, but there are multiple transphobes in the Green Party. What makes it any better?

Absolutely!

This is true, but both of its founding members have been outspoken in their support of trans rights.

Me too, for now I’m team Bosco, but looking forward to seeing what the next bracket has to offer!

I’ve been following her on TikTok for a while and she’s always been that girl. I’m so glad she’s on TV again!

I planned on boycotting it this year, but ended up with little choice as I was at a housewarming party which ended up as just a Eurovision watch party :/

People’s morals are just too damn flimsy, like there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism, but you can still try.

Interesting, I didn’t know that. I’d be keen to know what kids watching now think in 15-20 years time. For what it’s worth I like that Doctor Who is political and unafraid to broach these topics.

In recent years I’ve found these comments often felt a bit ham-fisted and unnatural, and I find it labouring when they describe the messaging of the episode back to me. I take your point about media literacy and the worse state of the world, but I would like the occasional escape from that. 2/2

I think for me at least, it’s more of an issue with how smooth the dialogue is, maybe I’m looking back on rtd1 with the rose-tinted glasses or childhood, but I feel like the commentary on politics came naturally in conversation, or as quick quips from the doctor. 1/2

I had the exact same issue, it just didn’t make sense to me. It all felt entirely implausible.
