And that's the point.

I'd really think that if you've been doing this for years, if you are new Labour and now Green Party supporter, you should be able to defend the coalition of voters that you're building up coming into 29, but it seems like they can't.

How many years have you been absorbing politics to have such a broad spectrum of knowledge?

I think it's incredibly passive, the way I've learned.

I started doing Speaker's Corner just before I turned 16, when I was 15.

And that was an absolute privilege.

And before that...

It must have been when I was in year 11 in summer, I just went on the Internet and found a debate community on like Discord and TikTok.

And I was like speaking to people about religion.

And you mentioned autism.

So how old were you when you were diagnosed?

Very young.

Couldn't say exact age.

I have Asperger's.

Obviously, some people would say that's a superpower.

Others would say it's like, you know, difficult with social skills.

Obviously, I've not looked young.

at you straight consistently I'm looking everywhere but it has gained to my benefit in terms of obsessions so like autistic people usually obsess over things when I was young I remember having a strange affinity for like reading about Chernobyl and like when I was like in year six or whatever so I consume knowledge like there's nothing so I've been very fortunate in that respect to have that to then support me with my political and religious knowledge I was going to ask you do you find having autism a hindrance or more of a superpower depends

So there was a few critics on Twitter who met me in real life during a canvassing trail for Restore Britain.

And they accused me of being a psychopath because they said that there was no life in my eyes because apparently I was like really antisocial.
