Summary

Suella Braverman’s glitching like Liz Truss, millions of kids in poverty, no new label for extreme misogyny, and ‘sexism is bad, pals’: there’s a lot to unpack in this week’s Bush Telegraph, brought to you by Mick and Jen. There’s good news, too, of course, including some of the yoot’s favourite words, brought to you by Jen, and a surprise book recommendation, brought to you by Mick. And if you’ve been hardcore manifesting a disturbing segue in JOTB about that time Ian Botham accidentally sent an unsolicited dick pic to the world, you are in for a badly angled treat.
