Latest issue
Angry Young Women: Much has been written about the trends in young men’s attitudes making them increasingly open to far-right politics and misogynistic views. But exclusive polling by Merlin Strategy for the New Statesman reveals that women under 30 in Britain are undergoing a radical shift in outlook too – only in the other direction, towards left-wing groups and causes – as well as a deepening pessimism about their own lives, about the male counterparts, and the world at large. Emily reports on a generation of disillusioned young women, while Scarlett Maguire interprets the data. Plus:
  • Katie Stallard on Donald Trump’s cage-fight diplomacy
  • Rachel Cunliffe tries Morris dancing
  • Finn McRedmond meets the American novelist Jay McInerney
