If you call asylum seekers an ‘invasion’ but won’t lift a finger to deter Russia, you’re not a patriot. New article from me: www.forthedeskdrawer.com/p/who-would-...

The most mortally depressing thing about this piece is that it is 100% correct. There are people writing well-remunerated newspaper columns and leading political parties in this country who are no better than Quislings.

Matthew Goodwin objects to prosecuting this: ‘I think it’s time for the British to gang together, hit the streets and start the slaughter. Violence and murder is the only way now. Start off burning every migrant hotel then head off to MPs’ houses and Parliament, we need to take over by FORCE.’

Shame to miss what looked to be a great (& highly topical) event with @jamesbloodworth.bsky.social & @felicityhannah.bsky.social on the crisis of modern masculinity & normalisation of toxic behaviour by political figures like Donald Trump. Thank you James for being our 2026 Holyoake lecturer!

"I've been driving buses for 33 years and it's changed. Society has changed. No one cares anymore. They just walk onto the bus and do what they want, when they want, how they want, and nothing's done about it." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It was a real honour to deliver the lecture and receive the medal

Congratulations once again to @jamesbloodworth.bsky.social, the 2025 #HolyoakeLecture medallist, and our sincere thanks to our brilliant chair, @felicityhannah.bsky.social and to everyone who joined us in Manchester and online. A fantastic lecture. humanists.uk/2025/12/08/m...

'Under the Employment Rights Bill, bosses will be legally obliged to tell staff about their right to join a union.' Excellent. I remember arguing for this when I was talking about what was going on in Amazon warehouses. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

How embarrassing

Headline writers stop using this cliche challenge

That's a wrap! Thank you to @jamesbloodworth.bsky.social, the 2025 #HolyoakeLecture medallist, and to @felicityhannah.bsky.social for her excellent questions and chairing this evening, and of course, to everyone who joined us in Manchester and online. A great lecture.

I am extremely delighted to be chairing the @humanists.uk Holyoake Lecture in Manchester on Thursday evening. @jamesbloodworth.bsky.social is speaking about his book - Lost Boys: A Personal Journey Through the Manosphere - and it will be fascinating. Tickets still available, come along!

Some tickets still available! Manchester, this Thursday. Come along. #HolyoakeLecture @jamesbloodworth.bsky.social

It was a real honour to write an introduction for the Adolescence scripts alongside Jack Thorne, Stephen Graham and others. Such a powerful piece of television that’s been rightly showered with accolades.

Because of course Paul Marshall is platforming Tucker Carlson

Welcome on board, James! 🫡 James's new book, LOST BOYS, is a personal journey through the "manosphere" - which could be a great way into this year's Youth Prize theme... HIRED, his investigation into low-wage Britain, was longlisted for The Orwell Prize in 2019! @atlanticbooks.bsky.social

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait. My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

I let out a huge bark of laughter at this

The government won’t do shit unfortunately

Thank you @jamesbloodworth.bsky.social for great evening and tour de horizon of the manosphere. Read his book!

Really interesting listening to @jamesbloodworth.bsky.social talk about his book. Unexpectedly generated thoughts linking to the monograph on time/temporality and welfare (off to the publisher's soon) and a paper I've been working on regarding social security. Need to find time for further thinking

84% of British boys aged 13 to 15 in 2023 had heard of Andrew Tate and nearly a quarter of these 84% had a positive view of him. What's going on? Should we be worried? What do we do about it? @jamesbloodworth.bsky.social joins us TOMORROW to explain all.

"Values like self-reliance are revered and contrasted favourably with 'wokeness' and depending on the government ... For a lot of men in these communities, voting for Trump was a cultural statement as much as a rational economic calculation." @jamesbloodworth.bsky.social
