I don’t use UnHerd but had it in my head it was extremely right wing. Is this not unusual content for them to be putting out? They’re owned by and run by Tories and fascists, specifically the same people that invested in GBNews.
UnHerd was founded in 2017 by the hedge fund manager Paul Marshall as its owner and publisher and conservative British political activist Tim Montgomerie as its editor.[1][2][3][4] Marshall has invested over £50m in GB News; UnHerd’s marketing describes it as a website for “people who dare to think for themselves.”[5]
hmmm
Following Montgomerie’s departure in September 2018,[11] journalist Sally Chatterton, who previously wrote for The Daily Telegraph and The Independent, took over as editor.[12][8]
Torygraph…
In January 2023, former Politico and The Atlantic writer Tom McTague was hired as UnHerd’s political editor.[15]
Samuel Earle, writing in The Guardian, described UnHerd in 2023 as “drifting away from explicit concern for the Conservative Party and the future of capitalism, and towards a focus on culture war topics: lockdowns, wokeness, cancel culture and the trans rights movement, as well as more general journalistic fare.”
I’m not saying don’t use it at all. Just keep in mind who they are and that they’re working some far right angle even when it appears to not be doing that.
Sure, I’m just going by the articles they platform which on the whole do seem sober, and a lot of time come from people on the left including actual Marxists like the author of this article.

I find they tend to be left leaning for the most part, and they regularly platform people like Varoufakis.
hmmm

Well the whole article could be read as an argument for more military funding.
