Editorial: The Guardian

• Rishi Sunak should apologise for his offensive comments about transgender people in Parliament.
• Sunak's failure to recognize and make amends emphasizes a lack of connection, curiosity, and compassion for others.
• According to the paper, electoral calculations appear more important to Sunak than basic human decency.
• The prime minister is seeking to win over reactionary voters.
• Sunak and the conservatives are heavily influenced by GB News, which specializes in divisive and fearmongering news.
• The Conservative party is experimenting with conspiracy theories.
• Sunak has chosen to skirt around real policies and instead lean into grievance stoking.
• Brianna's loss has led local conservative politicians to refrain from using transgender issues for 'culture war' attacks.

Conclusion: There is an ongoing dehumanization of politics within the conservative party, rejecting healthy civil discourse and running counter to basic human decency in favor of polarizing tactics.
