The decision to call a snap election was a high-stakes gamble intended to face down Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella’s New Right party, Rassemblement National, after it humiliated Macron’s centrist Renaissance party in elections for the European parliament.

On the night of 4 July, the UK Labour Party won an unprecedented electoral landslide. Compared to 2019, it gained 211 new seats while the Conservatives lost 251, an astonishing swing that handed Labour a parliamentary majority of 174. It was, the BBC reported, “the worst Conservative result in terms of seats in history.” A sour note from the far-Left was inevitable. Labour, these critics said, had won power but betrayed socialism.

There is no reason why she can’t go all the way. But even if she does lose on Sunday or in the quarters — the bottom line is that she’s back, and in a big way.

Zoe Booth: Today I’m with Dr Warren Farrell, who you might know from the Jordan Peterson podcast or from the documentary, The Red Pill. That’s how I first came across him.

His other book, The Boy Crisis, was on a similar note, but more focused on boys.

By now, you probably know that plastic recycling is a scam. If not, this white paper lays out the case in devastating detail. To summarise, amid calls to reduce plastic garbage in the 1970s and ’80s, the petrochemical industry put forth recycling as a red herring to create the appearance of a solution while it continued to make as much plastic as it pleased.
