Is the Guardian worse than it used to be?

It's weird because they do have passages like this:

Many of the women who responded to an online callout or spoke to the Guardian expressed frustration with politics that had failed to address poverty, inequality, healthcare for women and children in particular, the climate and Brexit, and voiced acute fears for their and their families’ future: mothers of children with SEN (special educational needs) or mental health issues, mothers unable to afford childcare, or with adult children unable to buy homes, unpaid carers, women feeling exploited in low-paid jobs with no prospects of progression, and women with disabilities fearing harsher welfare conditions in future.

Scores also said they were concerned about rising extremism and political polarisation, misogyny, violence against women and girls, antisemitism and Islamophobia.

About a fifth of respondents said they had either decided to spoil their ballot paper or were considering doing so, among them Sharon, a 60-year-old social worker and “lifelong Labour voter” from London who does not own her own home and has no savings. Her two adult children are unemployed, despite having gone to university, each owing about £40,000 as a result. Private rental housing was “beyond their means”, she said.

And then others where it's just "some people like this, some people do not, The Nation's Women are a land of contrasts"

“This is about supporting our sisters in prisons and women’s shelters,” said Anne, 61, from Burnley, Labour’s “most winnable seat”.


Nice of you to wake up, Anne, what do you think of the abuse of female prisoners by prison officers?

I wrote about 1997, and celebrating and relishing a Tory defeat even if it might not be the Labour government that you wanted. Because even when you feel cynical, it's important to give children and young people something to hope for https://t.co/b5OOgxAzHJ

“If you have reservations about starmer’s potential to effect real change, why not just pretend you don’t? It feels nicer”

you could have been doing that the whole time! For the children!
