Wake-Up Call? 8 Sep 23

What was the wake-up call though?

Quite an intriguing headline, but I always find it confusing (and a tad misleading) when there is a quote in the headline, but that same quote doesn’t appear in the actual article.

If it’s headline worthy, it’s article worthy.

What did she want us to “wake-up” to or do?
