Can you imagine the volume and shrillness of condemnation we would be hearing, if environmental protesters or BLM activists were doing this?

💥 At European Movement, we've just launched a campaign to smash Starmer's 3 red lines on Europe... And European Movement will be setting out what a pathway to full EU membership looks like. All to coincide with the 10th anniversary of Brexit. See more here: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/smash-red-...

If Starmer as PM did not know about the Mandelson vetting procedure it is because he chose not to know. Classic plausible deniability.

Good. The wreckers have been setting the agenda for too long.

Clean, safe, cheap, renewable energy that you don't have to fight deadly wars or destroy the environment to get. Good for wildlife, too, when done properly. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“…The UK has been dining out for far too long on fond memories of Britain’s wartime heroics. It is time for the UK to join the 21st century, and to understand its place as a small island off the coast of Europe, whose security and fortunes are inextricably intertwined with that continent…”

Ever wonder why most of the media provide wall-to-wall coverage of everything the far right does or says, while ignoring far bigger rallies and events and far more interesting discussions elsewhere on the political spectrum? There's no mystery. It's because they want the far right to triumph.

Why no political empathy for young people in England? Govt can abolish university tuition fees. It can abolish prescription charges. Provide free bus pass to young adults under the age of 22. The above happens in Scotland. Must happen in England too.

🔴The UK Could Be Quietly Heading for a Solar Power Revolution As fossil fuel prices soar due to Trump’s Iran war, the UK Government’s plans for ‘energy independence’ could transform how British households power their homes, reports @josiahmortimer.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2026/03/19/t...

The evidence is overwhelming: Brexit has been a disaster for London and the UK. Rejoining the EU is now clearly in our national interest. The option to rejoin should be on the ballot at the next General Election. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Starmer telling Labour MPs today that the Greens are "divisive," "sectarian," and "not the kind environmentalists they pretend" is not going to go down well with the millions who now back Greens. It'll simply tell them Labour doesn't hear us. More tin-eared stupidity.

This is NOT what I voted for when I put my cross against Labour. I voted for no sleaze, for transparency, for promises to be honoured, for a step away from the farce that government had become. I will never vote Labour again.

The royal 'it's a knockout' back in the day was a bit naff but I have high hopes for the royal '24 hours in police custody'.

Over the weekend, more than 50 academics urged the government to shift away from first-past-the-post, warning that it is not designed to handle multi-party politics The letter, shared with PolHome, said it risks electoral "distortions" on an "unprecedented" scale at the next general election

I never really sign stuff. But this was different. It's not about trying to facilitate or block a particular party's route to power. It's about an electoral system that's unsuited to the political realities we face today and risks giving us government after government with no convincing mandate.

The Representation of the People Bill is a good start, but doesn't go nearly far enough. First Past the Post leaves millions unfairly shut out of democracy. #Democracy #ElectoralReform

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records. Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'. Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Why is every scandal existential for Starmer? Because he has actively worked to eradicate his own support base. And that, along with the Mandelson decision, can be laid at McSweeney's door iandunt.substack.com/p/starmers-m...

Get Palantir out of the UK. Protect our NHS. Protect our country. www.thenational.scot/news/2582860...

Why isn't this a major news story?

"Who's city is it Chief? Bovino: "It's our fucking city." And that, in a nutshell, is the problem. It is not a democracy when men with guns and uniforms believe they have more control over a city than its residents.

It will come as a great relief to the millions struggling to pay their bills and afford enough food that they will no longer have to worry about arranging a visa for their family holiday to China.

🚨The Petition calling for by-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party is now closing on 77,000 signatures! Let’s get it to the 100,000 needed! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

There was, of course, absolutely nothing to stop these Tories resigning when their own Party was literally in the middle of doing all the things they now claim to be so unhappy about. (Come on Higgins!)

🚨🚨"Surprise, surprise": X has continued to allow users to post highly sexualised videos of women in bikinis generated by its AI tool Grok, despite the company’s claim to have cracked down on misuse. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The Reform pitch is increasingly “the last government was terrible, so we’ve hired everyone who was in it”.

A Deltapoll survey for The Mirror found that 86% of 18-24 year olds want to rejoin the EU. It is time for the Government to listen; young people are the future.

BBC report at a headline level that Grok will now not make sexually exploitative images any more. An actual reporter comes on and explains that it will do no such thing, and will just make the images invisible in the UK. These are two very, very different things.

If pumping indecent images of children into our news feeds, isn’t enough to force the Government to finally take action against Musk then nothing ever will be. New post on how Musks useful British idiots are trying desperately to stop the Government from acting www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/elon-musks...

Yes, it's become completely normal for this terrible man to say and do terrible things, and the governments of the world just ignore it.

'Ofcom does have the powers to temporarily take down X and I think that is a power that should be used given the seriousness of the issue' Munira Wilson from the Liberal Democrats tells #BBCBreakfast

The richest individual on Earth should not own the keys to the largest disinformation machine on the planet. It's not censorship to switch X off. It's common sense. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

ladies, it's ok because only paying subscribers can make/distribute deepfake porn of you and your children now www.ft.com/content/c24d...

I write in today's @irishexaminer.bsky.social about the laws that are broken when online AI platforms facilitate the production of child sex abuse material. No new laws are needed. Companies (and their executives) are accountable as well as users. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Seeing exact same defences of X that we saw when there were calls to pull the plug on the dangerous poison that was Russia Today. I'm not even going out on a limb when I say that X is far, far worse than RT ever was and that's a very low bar indeed. The case for it to be shut down is a no brainer.

If a human was being paid to create this material, we’d rightly throw the book at them. So why should X get a free pass? Fine them to the hilt and if they won’t comply, shut it down. We wouldn’t tolerate this offline. Why online? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 2/2

So his response to the criticism of his app generating sexual deep fakes of children is... to try to monetise it as a feature

Keir Starmer's spokesman says X limiting deep fake images to paid users "simply turns a feature that allows the creation of unlawful images into a premium service. It's not a solution.. it's insulting the victims of misogyny and sexual violence." Still won't commit to a ban or to stop posting there

The Guardian doing inexplicable voluntary free public relations work for a corporation profiting from sexual abuse by headlining this as the image gen being "turned off". It isn't off: they've just monetised it. What the fuck are we doing here people, come on. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Yesterday I posted my last ever Tweet and called on the Government to do the same. Read more below on why I think it’s time to leave the cesspit formerly known as Twitter. www.politicshome.com/opinion/arti...

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

🆕 POLLING New YouGov polling shows 67% of the public want political donations capped at £50k or less. The public has spoken loud and clear – it's time to get big money out of UK politics. Read more ⤵️ https://www.transparency.org.uk/news/latest-yougov-poll-shows-public-want-end-big-money-politics

The problem with "all options being on the table" is that it only means something if you're actually willing to pick any of them up and use them

Sky News on Renee Nicole Good murder: "There are deeply conflicting accounts of what happened." REALLY? Gonna both-sides this? One "account" can be seen on video and is confirmed by a dozen eye-witnesses. The other is a social media post by history's most notorious pathological liar. Grow a spine.

Make this go viral. Labour MP Louise Haigh.

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.

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.

Labour's response to Grok AI being used to undress women and children on X/Twitter is "pathetic." "There have to be some rules, and if this isn't one of them, then, frankly, we're lost," says Lewis Goodall www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/if-l...
