There’s something joyously comic about Kemi Badenoch, a politician being radicalised on social media before our eyes, saying that Adolescence is not “the biggest thing that is happening in the world today” in terms of radicalisation on social media.

🚨 New entry into the Kemi Badenoch does not do her homework canon:
Adolescence's creators have denied the series is based on true events, contradicting a theory doing the rounds on X that suggested the main character was “race swapped”
Badenoch tells LBC the story was “fundamentally changed”

What I found sad, particularly given comments about this very issue in episode 1, was how the series completely ignored the female victim of the crime who was a treated as a cypher after the first episode.
Whatever the rationale, I thought it had one compelling episode out of four (the long interview with the independent expert). Yet the show is treated as though somehow it is a revelation.
I'd like to see the regional split of the Reform polling at 25%. My instinct says it's mostly current Tory seats.
Art reflects... nothing? I mean, it's *a* view.
