Ex-Loaded editor Martin Daubney on why he’s become a European election candidate for the Brexit party
The Brexit party announced its candidates for the European elections last week, and among them was Martin Daubney, a former editor of the lads’ magazine Loaded and more recently a campaigner on men’s issues. Daubney, who came to prominence by promoting the idea of an endless male adolescence, marked his candidature by declaring that the Brexit party was a fresh start “with a new wave of people who understand the real world”.
The term “real world” is obviously a subjective concept, but I suggest that few people would rush to place those two words next to the names Annunziata Rees-Mogg and Ann Widdecombe, who are also Brexit party candidates.
