Really important analysis by
@benbgeiger.bsky.social
- the claim that record numbers of people are on out-of-work benefits is false.

You've GOT to be kidding me! The Conservatives - who oversaw every single thing on this list - are trying to claim that only the Conservatives would "stop the madness" - that they created...? So incredulity aside, what about the list itself? Let's go Debunking! 1/34

āDonāt feed the trollsā also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. Itās not easy and takes constant practice!
