For a group who were incredibly boastful about their clandestine nature during the recent excellent Channel 4 expose, Cambridge Analytica really don’t seem to have done a good job of covering their links to various facets of the British establishment.

Sandeep studied History at the University of Sussex and is currently working in London. He likes to write about politics, sport and music - basically anything you can argue about.
Occasionally of a contrarian disposition, he prefers humour to well-crafted arguments, because you can't lose an argument if you don't take it seriously.
His favourite book is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and he believes that anyone who disagrees probably just didn't read it properly.
Doping in football - how do we break the silence?
Charting the rise of some of football’s biggest names raises serious ethical questions of the beautiful game which have gone largely ignored.

The Corbyn spy story reveals the rank hypocrisy of the British press
In a shocking turn of events that would surprise Nostradamus, the right wing tabloid press has been having a bit of a field day with what seems to be a non-story about Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
With the subtlety of a sledgehammer, the Mail and their ilk have been driving home the message that Jeremy Corbyn is a communist spy – or at least was, during the latter-end of the Cold War. Read more...
What Are Your Trump Predictions for 2018?
Donald Trump is unhinged, to say the least. With that in mind, here are some predictions for what could be in store for the President and his family in 2018.
Mass-tweeting and binge-eating his retirement days away in the Oval Office (or the golf course), it’s clear from his increasingly irate outbursts that Trump is not the most stable character. Read more...

Traitorous Tories Carry On As Usual
This week, the Tory party has taught us that astounding and public displays of incompetence are no longer grounds for dismissal.
It’s amazing how things can change so drastically in such a short period of time. Berlin in 1989 versus 1990; Caitlyn Jenner going from an inconsiderate, selfish murderer to an inconsiderate, selfish, murderer with a vagina, and now we’re here in 2017, where it seems you literally cannot be replaced as Prime Minister even when your leadership makes Jim Jones look like a paragon of healthy management.

Don’t be DUPed by May’s latest manoeuvre
The Conservative party’s new allies have, until now, rightly been consigned to relative irrelevance in Westminster. Now, the Democratic Unionist Party could gain huge concessions from Theresa May - with peace in Northern Ireland a potential casualty.

Hung like a Parliament: What if the exit poll is correct?
A shock exit poll has thrashed most pundits’ expectations for this general election - but what if it’s right?
Salvation for Survation. According to the exit polls anyway, which are looking surprisingly good for Labour. Yes, it turns out most people didn’t learn their lesson from 2016, myself included. Read more...
An angry voice worth listening to
Any display of anger in political discourse can be used to dismiss one’s argument. But some have very good reason to be angry, and it’s time we listened.
Politics can be emotional. Some would argue it should be emotional. Those who claim to look at things objectively are often the most deluded of all, implying that they alone can look at a situation from a totally detached standpoint and find solutions where other, brighter and more qualified people have failed.
