The UK no longer really has a "minister for loneliness"

It's inaccurate to describe "Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Sport, Media, Civil Society and Youth" as a Minister for Loneliness.

It absorbed the responsibilities for loneliness but removing it from the title (previously "Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Sport, Civil Society and Loneliness" when it was 'created' in response to the Jo Cox review) shows it's being deprioritised.

One support website has a blogpost from the current office holder describes her role as "Minister for loneliness and social connection" which again is not actually the case.
