Tory Party Chairman Oliver Dowden recently took time out of his busy schedule of defending Boris Johnson to beat his chest in front of an American right-wing think tank, criticising ‘woke ideology’ and calling for a return to ‘Western values’.

In response, Jane Moore – Sun columnist and occasional host of Loose Women – came down with a common affliction of a certain type of political commentator, which causes a tendency to associate experiencing war conditions with strength and quality of character.

She suggested creating a Wife Swap-style TV show named Strife Swap, which would see what she described as ‘a bunch of Gen Zs …torn away from their war on free speech in our universities’ for a posting to the Ukrainian border with Russia.

‘Here’s a gun, kids. You have a choice — kill or get killed.’

Her stance received every bit as much ridicule as it deserved.
