'In the meantime, Koch has this year’s hot-button show to deliver, and she says, “The paranoia is alive and well.” That is partly borne of her feeling that, on this topic, actions might speak louder than words. “It should be more about giving platforms to working-class people, rather than me, a privileged person, coming up and saying: there should be a platform for working-class people.”'
Still, didn't stop her giving an interview to the Guardian which then published this puff piece.

A moment that changed me: I put people-pleasing aside – and told my new boyfriend the truth
I had gulped down oysters despite my deep dislike of them for years. Suddenly I knew the pretence had to end
tldr?
Oysters, ffs! She pretends to like oysters.
By the time I met Chris, I’d got faking oysters down to a fine art, although I still felt like the child in The Emperor’s New Clothes, itching to call people out on what seemed to me like pretension. That said, I had come to enjoy the ritual: the platter mounded with sparkling shavings of ice, the crowning with lemon, even the loosening of the mollusc from its pearly white shell. I just refused to believe anyone really enjoyed the oysters themselves.

In a genuinely crowded field this must be one of the most witless things the guardian has every published - behold the final paragraph, it's one of ths you feel more stupid for having read:
A few oysters have come close, but for now what I love most is the metaphor these molluscs, suddenly shucked of their shells, have inadvertently created: realising how much richer life is if people like and accept you for being you, rather than for being someone who likes oysters.
This is an extract from her book 'Hungey Heart' which is a title in search of a topic if ever there was one...

I liked the 'I've given up people pleasing but I'm continuing to eat this thing I really don't like because my BF does.' I mean that's just weird.

Today Martin Kettle's er, forensic political intellect is turned to the important matter of whether Kier Starmer was right to cancel his holiday or not.
www.theguardian.com
Apparently it's his first big mistake as Prime Minister and the "journalist" intones pompously his hope that Sir Kieth does politics differently next year.
Meanwhile, a nation shrugs. It's the depth of the silly season and clearly Martin is in need of his Tuscan holiday. Poor chap.

Stateside some do. Clinton's jumpsuits were the source of endless carping from right wing males during the 2016 campaign. Who'd have thought they'd be fashionistas?

Same happened to May (to a lesser extent) and to almost any woman in politics over here as well. There are no articles on Trumps suits.

People have ridiculed Trump's weirdly long ties though. And his comb-over hair. And his MAGA baseball caps. (My theory is that he made the MAGA baseball caps his thing because of open-air rallies and the risk of his comb-over being blown askew without the cap.) And there's also been speculation about his bulky trousers and whether he wears adult diapers. So there has been lots of commentary/ridicule of Trump's personal appearance.
