It's a rag, but still very influential and well-connected in British politics. Its editor is a former government minister, Boris Johnson was a previous editor. It hosts parties attended by media and political elites from all sides. You're underselling just how insane this is.

ME: I dunno, I don’t really watch them. I liked Midsommar. Or I guess I read the summary on Wikipedia. I’m mostly on TikTok. Oh bro, did you see the one where the haunted doll came to life? So fucking scary. I like CreepyComps on YouTube. Top 5 scariest dashcams, shit like that
