UnHerd is a British news website founded on 21 July 2017. The website's stated mission is to "push back against the herd mentality with new and bold thinking, and to provide a platform for otherwise unheard ideas, people and places".
The website is edited by former Daily Telegraph and Independent journalist Sally Chatterton following the departure of Tim Montgomerie in March 2018. Freddie Sayers joined the magazine in 2019 as Executive Editor, having previously been Editor-in-Chief of YouGov and founder of the British news and current affairs website Politics Home. As of January 2020 the website has 10 full-time editorial and production staff.
The site's columnists include Giles Fraser, Ed West, Tanya Gold, John Gray, James Bloodworth, Matthew Goodwin, Julie Bindel and Douglas Murray.
The website exists without a paywall, with its operating budget deriving from an endowment by former Liberal Democrat donor, Brexit-supporting businessman Sir Paul Marshall. The site intends to introduce paid services. Source

Britain's paramilitary nightmare Are these the new Blackshirts?
Can they be controlled? (Dan Hodges/Twitter) Anti-Migrant ProtestsExtremismFar RightPoliticsSectarianism Prefer us on Google George Orwell claimed that a hatred of uniforms was as much an enduring part of English identity as reverence for the law, suet puddings and misty skies. From an English perspective, he thought, the regimented politics on show in Thirties Germany and Italy, with their militaristic parades and costumes, appeared inherently ridiculous.

In 1951, the Festival of Britain almost single-handedly dragged British art out of its postwar slump. In 1958, Ravi Shankar gave the British classical music scene its first taste of non-Western composition. Pink Floyd played here in 1967; so too, in 2002, did David Bowie.
Barbara Cartland: masked masochist Behind the pink lurked cruelty and self-hatred
Pain is everywhere in Cartland’s fiction. (Credit: Jean GUICHARD/Gamma-Rapho/Getty) Barbara CartlandEnglish LiteratureRomance Prefer us on Google Romance fiction is the genre of masochism: it’s less about love than control, less about pleasure than pain. This is why Matthew Sweet calls his superb new life of Cartland The Great Dictator: in homage to her control and to her pain. He sees it as he visits her house, which is more edifice than home. She had, he writes, “been generous to history.

His new $LAPTOP memecoin will have a supply of one billion tokens, 30% of which will belong to its founders — including Biden himself. Another tranche will be airdropped to his Substack subscribers, followers of the YouTuber Andrew Callaghan, and people who lost money investing in Trump’s own memecoin.
Stella Creasy is giving Muslim misogyny a free pass
FeminismIslamLabour PartyMisogynyStella Creasy Prefer us on Google Some ideas are just incompatible. For example, it makes no sense to support the separation of men and women in public spaces and in the same breath describe yourself as a “proud feminist”. Trying to do so, as the Labour MP Stella Creasy has been doing on X, hollows out the word’s meaning. On Sunday evening, Creasy posted footage of Muslims celebrating the birthday of the Prophet Mohammad in her east London constituency.
