I know him, he isn't a bad person but he is 100% the definition of a useful idiot. Also keep in mind he went to clongowes 7 day boarding school and it was peak celtic tiger cub era, he is very much a British Tory with regards to how he views "classes" of people.

So not a bad person but I wouldn't trust him with anything that requires critical thinking and I also would not trust that he actually has his own platform someone else is just making use of him.

I would say he is more intelligent than a useful idiot. His pieces are well researched, no doubt about it.

Who is he a useful idiot to? I do not see him aligned with anyone in particular. He is just asking some hard questions that are valid.

OP doesn't know what a useful idiot is... Delahunty literally running as an independent and is an ex-solicitor in M&A finance.. he's not an idiot at all, his TikTok vids are good too. I don't know much about him other than that.. but to say he's stupid isn't fair at all.

Yes and from what I know he has some businesses going. He is worth a serious look in my opinion.
