Politics

So you’re looking for a change. You go online, start swiping. Good lighting, flattering angles — it’s hard to tell who’s sexed up their pictures. But you’ve been on the market for a while now — you can spy when they’re trying to sell you a dream. You ping off a few messages, putting your best foot forward: non-smoker, no children, secure job… you begin to build a faux rapport with some of them, signalling that while you’re keen to see what’s on offer, you’re not desperate. When you arrive in their flat, things go well; suddenly, you feel a rush of urgency, a compulsion to lock things down.
