I mean, and you're exactly right. It is just culture warring. That's all she's doing. So, you know, we tried to look into examples of where she's got the headlines recently. You know, this week she called for an end to the BBC licence fee due to a Gaza documentary that ended up being pulled. She's got a headline or two for saying, oh, you know, we should steamroll international law.

It's all just like, you know, internet arguments and not even up-to-date ones. Do you know what I mean? We've moved on, Kemi. We're not talking about the National Trust anymore. We're talking about Luigi Mangione's loafers. Like, come on, get with it. And, you know, the anglerfish. You know about the anglerfish.
