EHRC has admitted they did not speak to any health provider about the practical implications of their code lmao

People who work to make money? As opposed to taking the income from investments and gatekeeping access to things? But that would acknowledge that doctors, computer programmers, legal professionals, and McDonald's workers have common interests and _that_ would never do. Think of the hierarchy!

"Something remarkable happened in April. For the first time in history, wind and solar generated more electricity than gas across the entire planet. Not in a country. Not in a region. Globally." Tons of great news here from Danny Kennedy (via @billmckibben.bsky.social's newsletter, which rules).

If the media could try making sexual assault taboo instead of framing it as a series of confused lovelorn men having their polite attempts at courtship cruelly spurned by shrews that would be a nice start, it could in fact help

USA : look we can’t have an African Black man ordering white Americans around in broad daylight you realize what kind of a message that sends

Sounds like something a rapist would say.

NEW | I can only apologise for the image… THE NAKED TRUTH ABOUT PRESS COVERAGE OF STARMER’S NUDE BAN PLAN The PM’s "won't somebody please think of the children" policy is treated seriously by a media addicted to easy solutions to complicated problems. brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/the-naked-...

"This is yet more vibes-based policy making, the kind of thing that sounds good to focus groups because it taps into their most primal (and genuine) fears...At the same time, Starmer’s administration is courting tech companies at every turn, desperate to bake AI into every aspect of governance."

As we approach 10 years since the EU referendum, a new YouGov study finds most Britons would support a closer relationship with the EU, including rejoining Closer relationship outside EU: 59% support Rejoin EU: 55% Current relationship: 29% Looser relationship: 21% yougov.com/en-gb/articl...

61% of Britons believe Brexit has been a failure so far, with just 25% of those who voted to Leave the EU a decade ago believing it's so far been a success More of a success: 12% More of a failure: 61% Neither: 19% yougov.com/en-gb/articl...

Oh, a party that supports the needs of labourers? Like, a party for labourers? A labour party? I feel like we used to have something like this. Can’t quite put my finger on it though. Anyway, #VoteGreen 💚

Treating any communication platform that algorithmically selects which content to put in front of a user as a publisher, and legally responsible for that content, is the screamingly obvious solution that will deeply upset maybe seven companies and make life considerably better.

One of the obvious problems with a under-16 social media ban is that it won't work. (60%+ of Australian under-16s are still using these platforms). But it will make people feel like something has been done so they won't tackle the content, which is the real issue.

It’s impossible to take this government seriously over online harm whilst it remains on X.

If government mandated all departments, public sector organisations to leave X and use other platforms that take their statutory responsibilities more seriously (and whose owners don't actively promote civil war in Britain) there would be a pretty quick exodus of others.

I think every politician who proposes to ban anything on the internet for teens should be required to propose, as an alternate, a free and accessible and all weather space for teens to hang out in their own hometown

Cool this will def stop all the boomers on my Facebook sharing memes about how a woman in a hijab refused to sell an Iraq veteran ham in Tesco Express and when you say "that Tesco Express doesn't exist" they reply "yuo are just brain washd honestley i can,t bleieve yiu are like tjis open yuor eye"

Government still posts on a platform that produces and distributed CSAM on industrial scale. Maybe get off that as a first step?

UK should ban Starmer and all politicians from X. It harms us all. #BanX

Protecting The Kids by telling websites not to let a 17yo see a boob, announcing it on a social media site with an AI that does CSAM of any kid that takes a nonce's fancy, but that's OK bc they paid a drugged up nazi trillionaire to do it

This DIY collective punishment is all kinds of wrong. Solidarity with British Sikhs. Yours, a British Jew.

Like clockwork

And then he'll post about it on a website rigged to help Nazis and post non-consensual pornography.

Glad to see this from the FT, but many have been raising this for a long time and it's been disregarded as a sort of digital nimbyism or patronised as pearl-clutching panic. Labour needs a decent tech strategy and Blair and Mandelson's influence on policy needs to end with the change in leadership

must be nice

Israel has just hit Beirut’s southern suburbs.

It's sort of impressive that the UK has produced an environment where racism, both interpersonal and institutional only really exists when it's useful as a cudgel against the left and in precisely no other circumstances.

If Reform’s Zia Yusuf is concerned about black and brown people gaining systemic advantage over white people, maybe he should stand for election like others in his party? Surely that’s fair to all Reform members. In 2024 Yusuf donated £200,000 to the party. Weeks later he was named Chairman

This man is a joke. Just as bad as Javid, Patel, Braverman, Kwarteng and Zahawi. To look at all the data, the effect of that data and to brazenly lie like this is disgusting.

The best European response to Hegseth's moronic rant is to accelerate efforts to achieve the strategic self-reliance needed to make Americans like him irrelevant to Europe's security

British journalists have a duty to our country, and to all they supposedly hold dear as fearless pursuers of truth, to hold Farage accountable and challenge far right disinformation. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/uk/...

One day #BBCLauraK will be burning in hell with the fascists she enabled.

New idea. The BBC shouldn’t do news. It certainly shouldn’t do issues-based rage-bait news following the talking points established by old and new billionaire media giants. Because the market already provides that.

There’s a reason why the global fascist movement is pushing so hard at Britain specifically, and it’s because they can see they are pushing at an open door.

Two-tier policing is real and ever-present. Black and Brown people experience it. Women experience it. Pro-Palestine and green protesters experience it. But the last people who would ever experience it are right-wing white men. They are the people with whom the police instinctively align.

Thinking of X as the comments section on Elon Musk's personal blog is a reasonably accurate model.

Same. But also the CSAM. Mostly the CSAM tbf but both are reason enough.

If I waved a magic wand that sent every non-white person away from the UK, these cunts would still be raging about something or other. They will never be content. They need to figure out what they’re *actually* angry about (bazillionaires hoarding wealth, etc.) before it’s too late for all of us.

I’m middle class, left wing, and my lived experience has taught me that I’ve been afforded more human rights on account of features I was born with and can’t control (skin colour, location of birth, cisgender, etc) than other people, and that makes me fucking furious because that’s unjust

Paedos run the world and no one seems able (willing?) to do anything about it. For shame.

It is overwhelmingly clear that non-white Brits are much more likely to be stopped, detained, disbelieved and mistreated by the police than whites, yet the BBC has spent the entire week giving oxygen to the far-right fantasy that the complete opposite is the case. Here’s what I think is going on

“Two tier policing”: a far right, racist slogan that inverts the reality of anti-Black discrimination. Catastrophically mainstreamed by former Tory ministers, Farage and the right wing media: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

When Farage and Lowe are pushing race war and much of the press is running along with them it's easy to imagine that you're in some embattled non-racist minority. But the reality is society is shifting away from them. Their strategy is, ultimately, one of desperation. As horrible as it is to watch.

I know we shouldn't respond to the trolling, but Vance implying that Sikhs are part of a "mass invasion of migrants", when they fought in tens of thousands for the British in two world wars and even THE INDIAN MUTINY is 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

“It’s a tragic tale- a once-confident nation making such a fearful, self-harming decision. Our economy…politics… daily lives in 2026 – all of it bears the imprint of that calamitous error” Brexit 10yrs on. Nothing to celebrate. Except the likelihood we’ll rejoin. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

JD Vance and the United States have no right to lecture the UK on law enforcement or how to police. Sort your own house out.

A very special ✨Fuck You✨ to J D Vance this morning. Sincerely, A Sikh man

Foreign money funding Reform UK. Another 7m from two overseas British crypto billionaires - £4m from Hong Kong-based billionaire, £3m from Thailand. Tax exiles shaping UK politics. Modern equivalent of representation without taxation. What have they been promised? Must ban political donations.

Dear BBC journalists, you really do not have to 'debate' every far-right talking point that pops up on your X feed. It is not "deeply contentious" to suggest non-white people can't be English. It's racist. The word you're looking for is racist
