Keir Starmer - *sincere answer about spending his limited time with his kids playing Mario Kart, delivered as if he just googled it*

Ed Davey - "I still love a bit of Wii Sports"

Kemi Badenoch - "My best friend was killed by a Sega Mega Drive"

I couldn't find the quote on a quick browse of Goodreads (I don't have my copy with me), but I did find this, which I think sums up what is so repellent and arid about Blue Labour and this government's view on class and aspiration more broadly.

Why decline all these chances to defend feminism? Because to participate would be accepting the premise that our rights and humanity are up for debate in the first place.

Once you’ve conceded that it’s reasonable to ask whether women’s equality was a mistake, you’ve already lost.

I know it. You know it. Robert knows it. Lewis knows it. Everyone knows it, but it is almost never verbalised. Actively working to see what pathetic angle you can use to bring down the Chancellor, by investigating her teen Chess tournament record, is NOT journalism. It is borderline psychosis.
