    The sources more than prove this.

    I disagree.

    I actually have a folder of saved tabs called 'good things Labour are doing

    Ah! So basically it’s just news articles on websites that have convinced you.

    Are they doing the things I’ve said they are doing? Yes.

    I disagree.

      This is a weird experience for me. Normally when I demonstrate that things are, in fact, the case, people just go very quiet. This is the first time I’ve had ‘that’s too much proof’ used against me, so you at least get some marks for originality.

      I do indeed get my information about the news from the news; again, it hadn’t previously occurred to me to do it another way, so I guess I’m learning a lot! I’m not learning things like ‘Why does this person I’m talking to on a website think websites are objects of scorn?’ or ‘Where do they get their news if not from the news?’ but, still. It’s not nothing.

      Nevertheless, you’re straying into ‘not even wrong’ territory, here. The things I said are happening, are happening, and while you can believe anything you like, including that things that are happening, aren’t happening, that doesn’t change the fact that they are, actually, happening. Since you’re not amenable to things like evidence (about the news… from the news), I hope you’ll forgive me for ending this conversation. Feel free to get in one last shot, but I don’t intend to reply.

        ‘that’s too much proof’

        I’ve neither said nor implied that.

        my information about the news from the news

        Interesting that you’re looking for information about the news rather than information about the government.

        The things I said are happening

        I disagree.
