The endless column inches, YouTube videos, podcasts and more given over to the largely non-existent rightwards shift of young men is exhausting.
A small fraction are getting radicalised by the online right. But most young men vote left and liberal! Even more so than millennials did at their age!

So you had a dual stitch up — the Russian/American oligarchs around Farage and Johnson, and the Russian/American oligarchs around Mandelson. Leave or remain, they didn’t want their contacts investigated. So Brexit went ahead.
Lots of things are beginning to make sense now. Given Mandelson’s role in the People’s Vote, and his proximity to Epstein and his MAGA/Russian ties, no wonder they dismissed @carolecadwalla.bsky.social on Cambridge Analytica/Vote Leave and our joint investigation into Russian interference

Been with the DWP for 16 years. The official figure for fraudulent claims, approx. 2.2%, is, in my experience, broadly accurate. Just wanted to point that out to frothing, raging Daily Mail and Sun readers who think it's closer to 100%.

It'll be interesting to see how much mention Peter Thiel's relationship with Mandelson, and in turn Epstein, gets in the documents HM Gov is preparing to release. Especially so, considering the invasive nature of Palantir's contracts with our institutions. How were they won?

Starmer — a prosecutor with a huge majority, coming in after years of sleaze and mendacity — could have weaponised the corruption of his opponents to incredible advantage. Instead he will be ruined by the living avatar of corruption in his own party. To not see that coming is a serious skill issue.

The 'freedom Brexit gave us' - what rancid garbage from a ridiculous rancid rightwing shitrag.
Every single time Britain exercised a Brexit freedom, we ended up poorer or in a worse situation as a result.
Just look at immigration under Boris Johnson, the dreadful NZ and Australian trade deals, the plight of our farmers, the loss of funds to the poorest regions, etc. etc.

I've always thought that when a new UK govt takes office, the second thing the new PM hears is "Prime Minister, the UK is utterly dependent on the US for its security." Now this is in plain sight.
