And you don’t put spaces around em or en dashes.
It’s not a hard rule unless you’re using a hard format like Chicago, MLA, or APA format. In the US it’s common to not use spaces, but in the UK and some parts of Europe it’s common to use spaces for em dashes and en dashes if they are being used to denote parentheticals.
Edit: I just noticed this article is hosted on HuffPost UK. If you go look at the US version of the site, it uses em dashes. In the UK it is becoming common to use en dashes in place of em dashes for parentheticals. Though even in the US version there are spaces, so it’s still not a clean comparison.
