Inside the mind of a 16-year-old: From Andrew Tate to Bonnie Blue to Nigel Farage - what do first time voters think about social media, politics, the state of Britain and their futures? Demos is Britain’s leading cross-party think-tank. We produce original research, publish innovative thinkers and host thought-provoking events.

Fascinating report into the minds of British 16 year olds.
A must read - not least because it's strangely hopeful, as are they!

Essential reading for those who want to understand where our newest voters are getting their news from - and who they trust.

It's always funny when @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social @rory-stewart.bsky.social struggle with a straight answers from someone with values - and try to force the status quo agenda - even tho they spend the rest of the time critiquing the neo-liberal agenda.

Just joined the @greenparty.org.uk after talking to the local Green party team last weekend, and completed the form while listening to @zackpolanski.bsky.social on @therestpolitics.bsky.social

If you missed Emma Barnett having a conversation with Richard Tice this morning on the Today program on R4. I recommend you giving it 3 minutes of your time. She delivers everything I hoped for when she was appointed. Give it to the end. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Waking to hear Emma Barnett ripping into Richard Tice this morning, for the antisemitism of Farage and the dismissal of those that remember his words was not only good journalism, it was editorially necessary.
We need more of this.

Yup. I'm still friends with SO many brilliant people I met on Twitter, and then got to know at Teachmeets.

I'm furious that I lost that space

And... far more furious about the hate and violence that is given space there now it's X

We studied 'squaring the circle' at my ILEA comp in Camden in the 80s, and it really politicised me

I don't care what you think of the politics, but this is actually quite fun. Can't imagine any previous political figure pulling this off, except,... Maybe Blair.

For those that still don't get that there is massive change coming in the Jewish community in Britain, this letter unpicks some of the lazy assumptions about a singular voting block.

Just heard an Amazon advert on a podcast that was definitely ghost written by D’Ancey LaGuarde. Are we through the looking glass to Last Post universe @alicefraser.bsky.social ?

Should say - I do have a bias. I am far more Ron Berger than EDHirsch, for example. I believe passionately in expert generalists, anti-racism, and have not been a fan of the past 15years of education policy. I will ignore stuff that tries to change my mind on these things (no apologies).

Hi all, I am writing a post about the #curriculumreview and Primary. I read a lot of good stuff at the time but want to open my view.

What were the posts/articles/podcasts that really made YOU think or shout "YUS!" at the top of your voice about the #FrancisReview

Thanks, in advance

This should be noted in any future discussions about the #BBC, and, shared as widely as possibly in any case.

When I was at school in the early 80s lots of kids were routinely and regularly antisemitic to me. Saying Hitler was right, pushing my face into gas taps in science lessons, pelting me with pennies. It was relentless and teachers often laughed with them.

There was always one leading it. A Farage.

Lovely evening of films at #ukjewishfilmfestival including a surprise appearance of Anton Lesser (yes! Him!!!) for a Q&A about his appearance in this very touching short.

Claudia Mendoza sits at the centre of British Jewish leadership - at @thejlc.org - and she can see that our schools still don’t teach the full range of Jewish histories and identities.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

TW Irony.
Hateful? No, just divisive. Actually, just a bit contentious. You know what, it's only woke folk who object. Stop making a fuss, what's YOUR problem?Swastikas? They are everywhere!

Nothing to see here. Just the USA descending deeper into despotism.

The Guardian quotes @jprdata.bsky.social calling the Green vote “paradoxical” (“for a significant minority of Jews, domestic priorities and progressive values outweigh foreign policy concerns”) BUT in fact it seems much of the Jewish Green vote comes from the growing minority who are not Zionist…

This Israeli dating ad uses two kids to make a joke out of rejecting a Yemenite boy. He shares his heritage, she shuts down instantly. It only works because #Racism between Jews is normalised. The ad was pulled, but the mindset runs deep. We need to confront it – to repair. #jewsky

🙏🏼

Yes, that's fair and I should have added that, thank you Ben.

I've spoken to a few Labour insiders and they are watching this closely but I'm not sure the wider political establishment understands what's happening here.... But this sort of data really helps

What does the left want? A wealth tax. What will that accomplish? Very little | Aditya Chakrabortty Imposing a 1% levy on the super-rich isn’t a policy, it’s pantomime. Tackling inequality in Britain will require much more far-reaching changes, says Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty

I partially agree with this.
A wealth tax is not enough.
Reform of property laws, yes.
But really we need real Regulation, especially on the City and Tech, and a new narrative to replace the 'Growth Agenda' to something more like Donut Economics

British Jews turn to Greens and Reform UK as support for main parties drops Study finds new party divide as backing for Labour and Conservatives plunges from 84% in 2020 to 58% in 2025

Nearly 20% of British Jews are turning to the Green Party, mostly younger and happy to identify as non-Zionist.

Unfortunately, the older generation is turning to Reform, seeking clarity and strength, ignoring Racism.
