Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

"it is striking how many of the key players we have looked into — the people who have gone out of their way to put up hundreds of flags — seem anything but ordinary." manchestermill.co.uk/the-men-who-...

Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story. Ahh look, he’s just a ‘nerdy’ guy. No harm done. You need to scroll down to paragraph 13 of the Sky piece to find the full story! 🧵 1/9

Zia Yusuf is attacking Robert Jenrick over the admission of Aghan refugees under the ARAP scheme, whose purpose was to relocate to the UK Afghan citizens who worked for the UK government in Afghanistan and were at risk of reprisal from the Taliban commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-bri...

It is innumerate to compare the % of adverts containing any black person with the % of the population: unless adverts contained 1 person each. This massively exaggerates the (actual) "over-representation" of black voices and flips the actual under-representation of South Asians in TV advertising

This happened in full view of Sky News cameras and a bunch of police just standing there. Why is THIS not on the news all day? Why don't we show people what these thugs are turning the country into? I could only find it on the far right TikTok page that proudly boasted about the incident. SHARE!

Apropos of nothing, here's a thread of some Charlie Kirk highlights

Village idiots verbally abusing an influx of "illegal immigrants" at a campsite in Newbridge, Wales They were a group of Scouts from Scotland Anti-immigrant rhetoric has consequences Statement from Scouts Cymru "We are aware of a racially aggravated incident targeting under-18s"

Reform UK is proposing a "Britannia card" that would let wealthy foreigners pay a £250k fee to move to the UK, and live here exempt from all tax on their foreign assets What they don't say: it would cost the UK £34bn Report here, and thread below: buff.ly/gpe2Dpf

🔴 Non-Disabled People's Delusions that Disability 'Is Nothing To Do With Them' Only Harm Disabled People As cuts to disabled people's benefits lead to more dehumanising rhetoric, @penpep.bsky.social reminds us that disability is an embedded reality of human experience as much as it always has been

Amazing piece by @novicsara.bsky.social - highly recommended I’m sending it to many people to help them understand the importance of what’s happening to my field

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

Zhang Yazhou could never have imagined that Tesla would sue her for defamation — and win — after she claimed the brakes of her Model 3 had failed in an accident that sent her parents to the hospital. apnews.com/article/tesl...

If, like me, you’re worried about the role of money in British politics and the threat of foreign influence, do take Democracy for Sale’s survey on this Only take a few minutes and really useful to have data to back up public concern about this. Thanks! democracyforsale.co.uk/safeguard

Friends of GW "wouldn't be surprised" if he "turned out to be" autistic because of his "inability to read a room." Likewise I "wouldn't be surprised" if he turned out to be merely an entitled selfish prick because of his "inability to merely stop behaving like an entitled selfish prick."

People need to stop using being autistic as an excuse for being an arsehole. It just embeds misleading stereotypes. Yes, being autistic can mean you find social interactions difficult, I know I can. It doesn't mean you default to walking around with a sock on your c**k. www.lbc.co.uk/news/gregg-w...

Kemi Badenoch at #PMQs: "We had a budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards." Here are the tractors blockading the streets of Whitehall in March this year. They were protesting - you really couldn't make this up - Badenoch's trade policies. 😂

If any journalists reporting/ writing about the role of racism in the Exodus from X, keen to talk to you about it I have some fresh personal experience of the further deterioration, some of which could be significant/useful if Musk/his people do get quizzed in parliament on X, the riots & racism

🔴Jeremy Clarkson, James Dyson and Junk Stats: Is This the Best the Anti-Inheritance Tax Farming Lobby Has to Offer? How millionaire landowners are using dubious statistics to campaign against the Government’s inheritance tax reforms bylinetimes.com/2024/11/19/j...

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds
