We hope the good people of #SanFrancisco will forgive us for adapting a song about their city in 1967 to address the shocking and tragic events in #Minnesota in recent weeks. This is dedicated to Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and in solidarity. Our version is called "Minnesota" ❤️ youtu.be/BRHxXHZmVAM

I believe, that the government’s deployment of the monarchy can work in our favour, diplomatically. However, without an apology from Trump, there is absolutely no way, Charles can visit the USA in June. Prince Harry’s statement was well timed. I think it’s a case of watch this space. .

@TimesRadio So I just heard Farage comment on Trump’s appalling slur on the sacrifice of allied troops in Afghanistan. Farage said ‘ITS NOT QUITE FAIR’ !!! What does that mean? It is ‘almost’ fair but ‘not quite’. What a pathetic individual. Farage is no patriotic leader of U.K.

No surprise to learn X is still permitting users to post these images generated by Grok despite claiming it had taken action. Enough is enough. @ofcom.bsky.social MUST use its powers to shut this down www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Spare a thought for Sam Coates, Chris Mason and the other anti Labour media chatterers at this difficult time

Hospital waiting lists down to their lowest level for 3 years. Economy grows. Labour should be on every news outlet pressing this home.

BREAKING: NHS WAITING LISTs ARE DOWN BY A HUGE 86,000! It’s the second biggest drop in NHS waiting lists in 15 years Thanks to all the NHs staff who made this happen - and Labour’s record investment 🗳️ You voted to fix our NHS ✅ We are doing it

🔴 Last week the Free Speech Union got a High Court writ to prevent the publication of a list of its donors So we decided to investigate who *does* fund Toby Young's outfit Wanna see? 🫣 New on Democracy for Sale: democracyforsale.substack.com/p/who-funds-...

There it is. Farage and Reform would end our NHS. Millions of people could not afford to be ill under a Reform government.

The vile images being circulated on X through use of Grok AI are not only weapons of abuse disproportionally targeting women and girls, but they are also illegal. Where tech companies do not want to act responsibly, this Government must and will act.

Has there ever been any poll showing the public this united? yougov.co.uk/technology/a...

BREAKING: Nigel Farage chooses not sanctioning a platform for publishing sexualised images of children to protect £thousands in income every year. @skynewsrss.bsky.social @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @huffpost.com @washingtonpost.com @cnn.com

Well said @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social "Images that are AI-generated are no different to those which have been created in real-life and the police must relentlessly pursue perpetrators" "Limiting Grok’s image generator to paid users is a pathetic half-measure." 1/2

As with MAGA in the US, Reform and the Conservatives absolutely *have* to have high levels of crime, violence and depravity in diverse communities or their entire hate campaign falls apart.

#BBCNews - Malaysia and Indonesia block Musk's Grok over sexually explicit deepfakes www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

People have been trying to talk London down, but the evidence tells a different story. Last year saw: The lowest murder rate per capita since records began The fewest murders of those aged under 25 this century One of the lowest numbers of homicides for almost three decades

The government should not only be stopping using the platform they should also be issuing urgent safeguarding advice to all institutions not to post pictures there.

No Kemi, Trump threatening to invade a NATO ally is not a "second order issue." It’s a direct challenge to Britain’s security and the future of NATO.

Yet another example of a right wing 'patriot' asking a foreign power to trample over UK sovereignty. Tommy ten names, Farage, Lowe, Truss - they're all at it. Why don't people get it - hate is their currency, and that includes their own country.

Apart from it's sheer repulsiveness, another reason to ban this whole Grok thing (recently instructed to disrobe Renee Good's corpse), is the danger that it becomes normalised/people become desensitised.

Anti ICE protests, yet the only protest western media and politicians are interested in discussing is the one in Iran

Late to the club, but just finished The Night Manager series 1. Wow! Bring on series 2.

What a traitorous, slimy little grifter

Fighting the Brexit reset means scrapping Erasmus again and telling businesses that red tape, queues and cost are the price they should all pay for Farage’s petulant prejudice. What a very tiresome bore of a man shouting at us in his soiled Brexit pants. www.ft.com/content/3f97...

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon a.k.a Tommy Robinson’, the self-styled patriot and protector of women & girls from foreign abusers will fight to keep Musk’s CSAM site up but not for his home country from Russia.

Rupert Lowe MP calls on Musk and US Vice President Vance to prevent Starmer banning X. He’s claimed on numerous occasions he wants to protect women & girls from sex abuse but obvs feels the online X kind of sex abuse on X is fine Probs because since becoming an MP he’s made Over £40,000 from X❗️😡

So apparently X is now some sort of pay per view child porn site. Delightful

Protect our women and kids types prefer to protect their platform and income.

If your MP is on BlueSky, do feel free to tag them. Remaining on X, a platform which that allows for the mass manufacturing of non-consensual sexual images of women and minors, is no longer endorsement. The government needs to leave it. Now.

Shutting down X is no longer a matter of free speech. It is a matter of child protection.

On Grok...if there was ever a fight the government should pick, it's this one. Shutting down X in the UK. Because otherwise you're on the side of child abuse. And who can argue with that, ffs?

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

Jeremy Bowen really is an outstanding broadcaster. He's a reminder that public service broadcasting can be objective and impartial without needing to be balanced - indeed that balance makes objectivity impossible. I imagine they'll get rid of him soon.

Back in November I told Westminster's women and qualities that the UK government needed to get off X. The committee's chair @sarahowen.org.uk is completely right - X is not an appropriate channel for comms. Quite the opposite

NEW: Commons women & equalities committee says it will stop using X. Chair Sarah Owen says given preventing violence against women and girls is among its key areas, “X is not an appropriate platform to be using for our communications”. Ministers next? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

In Jun 2024, Farage welcomed the Duke of Marlborough into Reform UK. On January 5th 2026, the Duke of Marlborough appeared in court charged with strangling his estranged wife. Here's Farage with Andrew Tate and Conor McGregor, and of course there's Farage & Trump. I think there's a pattern here...

Telling isn't it that all the "protect our girls" people are still on X despite what Grok is doing.

Dear @darrenpjones.bsky.social please make the PM aware that his voters are here not on twitter & we do not understand why we're being ignored or why official comms are posted on a platform that churns out CSAM. This appears to be a massive comms oversight, please rectify it.

Charlotte Nichols MP (Labour, Warrington North) says AI-generated sexual harassment must be the final straw for the UK government using X A growing number of Labour MPs thought this needed a proper review last year: next week may see this cut through Misogyny is an official priority of this gvt

These two never fail to make me smile!

So, I didn’t think I could hate Boris Johnson anymore than I did!! Until I watched Prisoners 951!

This petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy already has over 30,000 signatures. Let’s get it to 100,000 this week. Please sign and share 🙏 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

So, the son of an elderly woman, in a Lancashire council funded care home, threatens to leave the party, if the Reform council continue with their plans to sell off five residential care homes, to save money. Oh, the irony!

With the today’s posts about the Labour Front Bench abstaining from the vote, I felt this was an apt time to repost this!

“That Brexit has made control of immigration more difficult, damaged our economy and weakened opportunities for future generations should make people think twice before putting Brexit's chief proponent in charge of running the country” Times letters: a lonely oasis of sanity in the far right storm.

Our democracy is too precious to be a plaything for foreign tech barons. Elon Musk doesn’t care about the British people or our rights. He only cares about himself and his ego.

apple.news/A1UmSOZ7ITCi... Trying to get my head round this one!

Just curious! Did anyone watch /see Beth Rigby’ s report of Keir Stammer and Rachel Reeve’s visit today?? She used to be someone I respected. Once upon a time, in a galaxy far away……,,

Ok! Farage aside! That must have been one of the best Glastonbury sets ever!!

Loved Ange, but genuinely think Frank will be brilliant.
