Nigel Farage has been out today defending a platform that creates child sex abuse images and harasses women. Remember this the next time he says his anti immigrant rhetoric is motivated by concern for women and children.

Astonishing to hear the Conservative leader describe a threat against a NATO ally as a ‘second order issue’. …the fact that it’s a threat by impulsive gangster Trump makes it a terrifying reality. Kemi, like Nigel, clearly in the pocket of the mad far right US Administration, cowards both.

Badenoch is fascinating. So busy fighting culture wars online that she considers the very real potential for the break-up of the military alliance on which the UK relies for security to be a fringe issue.

A lot of the media really struggle to cover the 4chan edgelord meme stuff because it seems so unserious. And it is. But it's also serious.

Newmark also made a packet from PPE during Covid. But I guess Matt Hancock won't feel betrayed that he's taken the money and is now running.

It doesn't seem healthy that the Shadow Justice Secretary is now promoting conspiracy theories that immigrants are driving an imminent race war through "islamists" and that the police are covering this up.

It’s worth asking: what would be too much for these people? What would they not be willing to do, if this is fine. And the answer, realistically, is “nothing, all is terribly possible”.

I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance". It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder". The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.

It has become increasingly clear that X - a platform now actively producing explicit and abusive material against women and children - is not an appropriate platform to be using for our comms. I will keep pushing for action from the govt & relevant authorities in this area.

Farage: "I believe in vaccinations when they're vaccinations. I don't think what happened with Covid were vaccinations. You have to keep having them every 6 months." Conspiratorial nonsense. Some vaccinations like Covid shots require multiple/seasonal doses because immunity fades & viruses change.

Bloomberg's X account has more than 800k followers. Their most recent post was shared five times It would basically come at close to zero cost for outlets like Bloomberg to delete their X accounts, and "We don't want to use a non-consensual deepfake abuse app as a comms platform" is a fine excuse

The video in the thread redacts the images, mercifully. But you can see from the prompts what is happening. This is obscene, vicious and intolerable. X and Grok should be shut down until this grotesque harassment can be stopped. Those responsible should face the full force of the law.

The pardon for Hernandez makes an obvious & absolute mockery of each & every attempt to rationalise, or even justify, Trump's treatment of Maduro. I'm not sure this single, simple point can be stressed enough. Once again, he proves his critics right & reduces his supporters to epic moral corruption.

This is an argument that reduces Britain to complete vassel status. Is there *any* US action, no matter how deplorable or contrary to British interests, that he would opposed? This kind of cravenness only encourages Trump to go further and faster, confirming (accurately) in his mind his methods.
