And I think that a lot of the time people identify gaps in your work that are the product of fear rather than outright ignorance.

And there's like an area where you fear to tread because you go, am I well qualified enough for this?

Or like, am I good enough to do this?

Or like, it's not my wheelhouse.

I don't feel fully comfortable.

the best kind of criticism sort of shows you where you have to like grow some muscle so for me it was thinking about strategy because i don't i'm not one of those people that instinctively has a really um strategic mind i've got more of like a narrative mind but like lots of the feedback i was getting from people that i really care about was like well where's the strategy and i was like guess i've got to read some fucking strategy books um

And so I think that there's a helpful process, which is like, yes, you get the, you get bookmogged and the cortisol spike is just insane.

But like, I'm sorry, that was a, I've been on the internet too long.

That was a clavicular reference.

I was busy analyze, what was it?

Analyze maxing and then I was brutally bookmogged.

resulting in a cortisol spike but like there's a useful thing that can come from that you know like no work exists outside of a dialogue and I think that we all have a choice about to what extent do we want to engage with it and lean into it rather than like retreat into our bubble of self-loathing

Right.

So I think that there is some tactics involved here.

So everyone has to present a really bullish front because of the impact a viable reform candidate has.

So normally what you'd see in an election is expectations management.

Oh, it's really tight.

Don't know if we can get this one over the line.

But because the Labour Party is so hated at the moment because of Keir Starmer and the effect of tactical voting is a little bit different, they've got to go, we're your best chance to win.

We're going to boss it.
