Andrew Tate has welcomed former UKIP and Brexit Party politician Nigel Farage to 'the club' after the GB News host claimed that he was being forced out of the UK by banks. Farage shared a six-minute monologue on Thursday claiming that he is facing "serious political persecution" after his unnamed bank closed his accounts two months ago for an apparant "commercial decision." The 59-year-old added that similar things had happened to his family and his political colleagues and he was now contemplating leaving the country and is planning his "next steps."

Tate was arrested in late December 2022 and has been under house arrest with his brother Tristan and two other associates ever since. Earlier this month, Tate and the three other men were officially charged by the Romanian authorities for the aforementioned offenses as well as organised crime for the specific exploitation of women. Tate has strongly denied all the charges against him. Have your say in our news democracy. Click the upvote icon at the top of the page to help raise this article through the indy100 rankings.

When it comes to sex and romance TV and film, Gen Z has had enough of it, according to new research. The ‘Teens and Screens’ study from UCLA collected responses from 1,500 Zoomers aged between 10-24 who believe there is too much of a focus on romantic relationships - 47.5 per cent to be exact. In fact, over half (51.5 per cent) of those surveyed said that they would like to see more platonic relationships being depicted on screen. Meanwhile, many (39 per cent) would like to see asexual relationships being represented in media. “We know that young people are suffering an epidemic of loneliness and they’re seeking modeling in the art they consume," Dr. Yalda T. Uhls, founder and director of CSS and co-author of the study said. "While some storytellers use sex and romance as a shortcut to character connection, it’s important for Hollywood to recognize that adolescents want stories that reflect the full spectrum of relationships." Uhls also referenced the fact that young people nowadays are having less sex than their parents did at their age. Stephanie Rivas-Lara, CSS youth engagement manager and a first author on the study (and a fellow Zoomer) provided some context as to why her generation are seeking friendship over romance in their entertainment. “As a member of gen Z myself, I wasn’t surprised by some of what we’re seeing this year,” Rivas-Lara told IndieWire. “There has been a wide-ranging discourse among young people about the meaning of community in the aftermath of Covid and the isolation that came with it. She added: "Adolescents are looking to media as a ‘third place’ where they can connect and have a sense of belonging – and with frightening headlines about climate change, pandemics and global destabilization, it makes sense they are gravitating towards what’s most familiar in those spaces.” Meanwhile in the battle between old and new, 56 per cent of respondents said they prefer original content over franchises, remakes or adaptations.
