My secret evil plot to ‘destroy Britain’ has been unveiled by (checks notes) the same paper that endorsed Liz Truss.

If I don’t know better I’d say we’ve got them entirely rattled.

The most radical policy slate in British politics in years, and the press barely knew what to do with it. Because this wasn’t performance; it was real substance. While Labour polished optics and the Tories rehearse denial, the Greens turned morality into policy.
