news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 14 November 2024

Trump’s victory in the US shone a light on the growing political polarisation between between young male and female voters happening all over the world

As the Democratic party licks its wounds and prepares for Donald Trump’s return to the White House, a growing chorus of commentators is urging the party to confront a historic shift in voting patterns, which has seen Latinos, the working class and Black men all shift rightwards in 2024.

But perhaps the cohort that offers the gravest warnings for the party’s future prospects is young men. In 2024, men aged between 18 and 29 turned out in force for Trump, with the Republican winning the demographic by 14 points, overturning a generational trend that has for decades seen young people favour left-leaning candidates.

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 14 November 2024

Over the years its Christmas adverts have featured a menagerie of lovable creatures but this year John Lewis is tugging on heartstrings with a Narnia-inspired tale of two sisters that for the first time gives its struggling department stores a starring role.

After last year’s lighthearted outing featuring a cheeky Venus flytrap , the ad is a distinct gear-change. It was filmed in John Lewis’s high-profile store on Oxford Street in London and, at a time when the high street is facing severe headwinds, for once it is actually about going Christmas shopping – without a lovable penguin or snowman in sight.
