Labour’s efforts to brand critics of its stance on Iran as warmongers is the apex of cynicism

Lord Ashcroft: Can Starmer negotiate the left’s coalition of chaos?

We've been asking, what is the state of the left-of-centre voting coalition under the biggest Labour majority for nearly 30 years?

Fleur Butler: How cultural icons are radicalising a generation of girls – straight from the populist playbook

This cuts against the story our commentariat prefers. We are told that young men are the epicentre of radicalisation, volatile, misogynistic, one podcast away from extremism. Not only is this misandrist; it obscures the sharper electoral point.
