If you're getting excited by the Farrage £5m scandal and the prospect of a by-election, check the Clacton division results in the Essex County Council elections, and wonder if he would still win the seat. > Clacton North: Reform 57% > Clacton South: Reform 55% > Clacton West: Reform 61%

If you're going to quote Sherelle Jacobs, you need to include her finest contribution to British politics modelling a pink coat during the Brexit debates: @EddyRhead: "It’s 4am.

Absolute dereliction of duty by an MP: a major employer and driving force of local and national economy is not their ‘industrial focus’. Apparently the educating and training of doctors, nurses, teachers, lawyers, scientists, engineers, researchers…IS. NOT. THEIR. INUDSTRIAL. FOCUS.

So @why.bsky.team is no longer mass blocking via this list, probably as a kneejerk reaction to realizing he doesn't know how his own (likely vibe-coded) feeds work. He is instead spending his morning manually blocking trans people and furries

How it started | How it's going 🤖🫧💥

Since everyone is talking about this list right now you can get a general idea of who is on it, and the real situation is that the technical advisor to Bluesky just decided to block thousands of furries and LGBTQIA+ people. That sends a fun message!

New #Bluesky Badge of Honour: being blocked by the platform's technical advisor who has followed a shit-poster's AI-haters blocklist bsky.app/profile/zoew...

Ahahahahaha what do you mean the TECHNICAL ADVISOR to Bluesky just blocked over 300k users by following an ANTI-AI, AI HATERS blocklist. Embarassing.

oh my god, @why.bsky.team just blocked 300,000 people for being anti-AI. including me. holy shit how does this guy still have a job

It's a tough competition for what member of the Bluesky staff understands the Bluesky userbase the least, but @why.bsky.team is a top contender.

If you wonder why the "Quiet Posters" feed doesn't work for you anymore, it is because the @why.bsky.team subscribed to an anti-anti-ai block list, rendering it useless for over 300 000 users. Good job bsky team!!

A rigged draw harvesting personal data.. by guess who❓👇🏼 Farage ran a competition to pay energy bills for a yr, ppl gave Reform their personal details to “win” Him with June the “winner” pretends he doesn’t know her Him with June & husband at Brexit Party rally in 2019 Nothing will happen obvs😡 1

Why isn’t there any recorded drawing of the free energy bill prize, you might ask? Because it was rigged — is the answer. What are the police and mainstream journalists doing about it, you might ask again? Jack shit — is the answer.

The House of the People site's founder, Charlie Jobson, was punting it on GB News a couple of weeks ago ... tho, oddly, on no other platform ... so you can guess what's really behind what looks like a grift. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTl6...

Immigrant in war zone seeks safe place of refuge #WhereIsIsabel

Thames Valley Police are seeking to identify a group of individuals holding Union flags in connection with what they believe was a racially aggravated assault in the Westgate shopping centre on Sunday 8 February, around 5.30pm. Anyone with information is asked to call 101 with reference 43260065234.

UPDATE: I've had a response from the Cabinet Office! "the statistics cited ‘19.2 million British citizens registered with X and 10.8 million families using the platform’ were provided by OmniGov, the government's media buying agency, who received this data directly from X itself."
