When you think of the English tradition of Morris dancing, you might not picture a group of young, gender non-conforming, drag kings who dress like "chimney sweeps" - but that will be because you've not seen Molly No-Mates.

Scarlett feels Molly No-Mates is part of the "cultural moment" Morris is experiencing, and points to last year's Brit Awards where Stroud-based group Boss Morris danced on stage with Wet Leg, who won Best New Artist and Group of the Year.

Molly No-Mates, which formed in May 2023 in north Bristol, had just two members when it started - hence the "no-mates".

Since Molly No-Mates started, Scarlett says the side has received a "really positive response" from a lot of traditional teams.

At odds with the US, Europe, his Arab neighbours and potentially Russia, too, and increasingly unpopular at home, no-mates Erdoğan is treading a lonely, destructive path towards a strategic and political dead end.
