X is designed to radicalise people. The algorithm promotes Elon Musk's agenda to promote racists and people who want violence bought - specifically - to the streets of Britain. Members of Parliament, major institutions and the media should not be there. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Douglas Barrowman and Michelle Mone made £65m selling faulty PPE to the Government. HMRC now wants £39m in unpaid tax — and we think we know why: Barrowman and Mone may have avoided tax on their £65m profit.

I have spent my entire professional life understanding the British point of view on foreign policy. I get certain historic and cultural differences. But the wilder the world gets the more infuriated I become by the dismissive attitude many Brits have towards the EU as a peace project./

Reform UK Council Grifter in Northumberland. Councillor Shaun Knowles turned up to a meeting yesterday for the first time in just under 6 months. This means he avoids disqualification by just a few days and keeps his councillor salary.

The British mainstream media don’t tell people this, because it doesn’t fit their agenda.

We’re beating global competition for contracts to build more ships and planes here in the UK. From Norway to Türkiye, what do these deals mean for British jobs? Let me explain 👇🏻

The idiots who are posting ‘why is Rachel Reeves coming out saying things are bad etc but not telling us what she’s going to do, it’s so stoopid’ Give your head a wobble. It’s about settling markets and setting expectations and she can’t tell us as it’s against Parliamentary rules.

Well, there are some interesting details in this…

“His main theme was that the country was fucked. Largely because of Brexit. Weirdly, he has no memory of being the main architect behind the Brexit vote. He seems to think it happened in a world in which he played no part.” Farage - the foghorn of failure. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

OK. Seeing how I have been drawn into this.... Dear American commentators: Not every part of the world is the same as the USA. Advising people in the UK to do things that would send them to prison is unethical and makes you look like an overinsulated idiot.

Nigel Farage, whose party recently put a teenager with zero work experience of any kind, in charge of running an entire county, is currently giving a speech railing against "unqualified" politicians being put in charge of Government departments

Reform are Tories Tories are Reform As more people move (either way) between the 2 parties, it becomes harder to argue there is anything different between them. We've just kicked the Tories out of power - do we really want them back in again but with the only difference being a lighter blue?

This is really poor by BBC researchers and producers. Goodwin hasn't been an active academic for a number of years, yet is described as one (thus legitimating his relentless Reform activism and constant bad faith misrepresentation of evidence). 1/?

"The data shows no evidence to suggest that younger men are more inclined than other demographic groups to support the British far right" ✍️ @turnbulldugarte.com & @emiliabelknap.bsky.social analyse the demographics of Reform voters and argue the gender gap is marginal ukandeu.ac.uk/most-british...

Probably worth saying that gambling firms prop up The Sun through millions £ in advertising and referral deals. For some reason they don't point that conflict of interest out on their front page story against gambling taxes today (save for a promo note that it "includes Sun Bingo and Sun Vegas")

People criticise the government's comms....but a lot of the time I think people are just not seeing those comms. So I'm putting together a list of social media pages across different channels for government and Labour party comms. Make sure you follow these - and like/share the content too! 1/2

A bewildered Robert Jenrick under serious attack from David Lammy over the state the Tories left the prison & court systems in. Failure on everything. And somehow the Shadow Justice Secretary tried to claim all the problems started just 14 months ago! And Jenrick is meant to be the best they have?

The NHS has made the morning-after pill available for free across pharmacies in England in an effort to reduce a “postcode lottery” of access to emergency contraception.
