Grok, Elon Musk's AI tool that generates child sexual abuse material, is to be integrated into Pentagon systems.

It was time to build this weekend (with LEGO).   Thanks to Ambassador Harris for the gift. Solidarity with Denmark. 🇨🇦🇩🇰

A fake interview transcript of a Laura Kuenssberg interview with Nigel Farage in which he storms out of the studio has been shared widely online. This exchange never happened, and the pictures of it were created with AI.

Are we being gaslit or am I going mad? Child porn is illegal. It’s a strict liability offence to make, distribute and possess it. So why is everyone talking about regulation when we should be asking why the police aren’t investigating and haven’t already issued an arrest warrant for Musk?

UK to bring into force law this week to tackle Grok AI deepfakes www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Shocking news that is not getting out: the Justice Department’s civil rights office has refused to investigate the killing of Renee Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross. This is a huge deal because this is the unit that investigates and prosecutes law enforcement misconduct. youtube.com/shorts/44an_...

The Telegraph of all places now citing the dangers of low immigration. You could not make it up www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... CALLING ALL USA CITIZENS AND THEIR GOVERNMENT.

“The murdering will continue until you stop calling us murderers.”

Yes, but to be fair the government is guilty of this too

I BEG every smug commentator who praised Mahmood for doing the “tough but necessary thing” to read this. All the disadvantages of plummeting immigration for the economy & public services, for NO POLITICAL GAIN. Labour in DESPERATE need of a 180 change of course on immigration

How strange that Mandelson seeks to explain himself publicly rather than shuffle off into quiet obscurity

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms. (Published June 2025)

Strange isn't it... the people who actually live in London overwhelmingly think it's safe.... almost like everyone else is falling for a lie

At last night’s candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good, Bishop Rob Hirschfeld of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire announced he had asked the clergy of the diocese to get their affairs in order and to make sure they have their wills written ...,

By copying Reform's narrative Labour reinforces it, and by pushing the most hostile anti-immigration policies in decades Starmer is making it worse. Labour could be countering Reform's lies, instead they embed them further in policy. It's lose lose for everyone. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

In 10 goddamn days?!?!

“IT WAS MURDER” Several hundred people have formed a human banner at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach today (Sat Jan 10, 2026) 👏👏 (📸 Erik Castro)

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up. Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

I am also going to try & use this place more for obvious reasons! Grateful for suggestions of clever, interesting, funny, decent thought provoking people to follow from across the political spectrum. Thanking you!

Half Goebbel, half gerbil

Unbelievable

Great to see that Donald Trump’s vexatious and frivolous legal pursuit of former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele is going precisely nowhere. @privateeyenews.bsky.social

Call me old-fashioned, but following evidence-based policy on reducing alcohol limits to reduce "killing off" pedestrians and other road users seems pretty sensible. It's not actually obligatory to drink booze in a pub, plenty of modern non-alcoholic options. Also let's improve walking routes!

This.

I would really caution anyone against implying that paywalling this feature is a legitimate response to public outcry. The paywall is an endorsement, not a restriction. Musk is saying "this thing you're all talking about is valuable. Pay me for it." The actual material effect is just monetization.

1967: 'Three thousand publicans marched against the breath tests' for drink driving 2026: 'Pubs blast new drink-drive limit' - front page of motonormative local rag @theoxfordmail.bsky.social today If your pub needs drink drivers to survive, your pub needs to close NOW.

Nigel Farage's stunning list of VIP freebies while 'ignoring' Clacton locals

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism. Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

All of these accusations are disgusting. Here are more. That's 34 accusations now. And yet there's Farage - out there - smirking his way about the place like some British Trump. Seemingly untouched by it all. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“Can we check her pulse?” “No! Back up! Now!” “I’m a physician.” “I don’t care.”

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

Thanks for the free 7-day trial of 2026 I’d like to unsubscribe from whatever the hell this is

A reminder that Kemi Badenoch wants to create a UK “Removals Force” explicitly modelled on ICE

The obvious implication is that this justifies killing her. These people are simply evil.

"we live in a world … that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world". (Stephen Miller, White House deputy Chief of Staff). This is what that world looks like. The history of freedom is the struggle to constrain power by law

If you missed this question to Nigel Farage from The Critic's Rob Hutton – and it was over an hour into the press conference – then it was a particularly good one. The answer was... vague.

Nigel Farage confirms that Reform UK will vote *against* the bill to lift the two child cap, keeping hundreds of thousands of children in poverty.

Your honour, I did not mug him, I merely asked for money after implying there might be violence www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Republican Rep. Doug LaMalfa has died. Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned from Congress last night. A special election in Texas on Jan. 31 will put in another Democrat in office. Mike Johnson's House majority is almost non-existent. Next month, he can only lose one vote.

There we go. That there’s a headline.

A great story from Mike Reader, Labour MP for Northampton South. It's part of the debate on the Cyber Security & Reslience Bill. What would you do if this happened to you at work? Has your work even told you about this sort of risk? We've had emails attempting this sort of thing! Be aware!

Joint European statement on Greenland. They moved quickly after Miller’s comments about annexation last night.

Misrepresented images of deposed Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro have spread widely on social media since his capture. President Trump shared clips he falsely claimed showed celebrations in Venezuela: One was from a UCLA student event, another from a 2024 Caracas protest was also falsely labeled.
