MPs v the manosphere: ministers battle misogyny as they take a different message to men and boys across Australia

An interesting piece in The Guardian.

This is the first time I’ve noticed there’s a Men’s section in the paper. The article in the previous link was written by a woman, and last month’s contributors to the section include the wombat Laurie Penny.

Shabana Mahmood declares she wants more refugees to come to Britain via legal routes

Interesting. The start of the piece:

“Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has unveiled plans to significantly expand legal routes for refugees to reach Britain once Labour regains control of the wider asylum system.

Speaking on Matt Forde’s Political Party podcast, Ms Mahmood said her ambition to go “much bigger” on legitimate refugee pathways depends on first restoring public confidence in Britain’s migration system and breaking the business model of people-smuggling gangs.

The Home Secretary has proposed three capped schemes – one allowing refugee students to study at British universities, another for skilled workers, and a third modelled on the Homes for Ukraine programme, enabling community groups to sponsor refugees.

“I think once we’ve got control of our system, once we’ve shown our country that we can run a good migration system, we can break the business model of the gangs,” she said.”

Hold on, didn’t Two-Tier-Keir promise to “smash the gangs” before the last general election?

Farage’s girlfriend says she wouldn’t interfere like Carrie Johnson in No 10

Interesting (Telegraph, £). Laure Ferrari’s Wiki page is here. The start of the Telegraph piece:

Nigel Farage’s girlfriend, Laure Ferrari, has said she would not meddle in public affairs if her long-time partner becomes prime minister.

Ms Ferrari, a French politician, added that Carrie Johnson wielded too much influence in No 10 during Boris Johnson’s premiership.

“She intervened far too much in the country’s affairs,” Ms Ferrari told Le Monde, referring to Mr Johnson’s wife. “If people elect Nigel Farage, they are not electing Laure Ferrari.”
