We already have ‘right to work’ checks for employment. This won’t change that. ‘Illegal’ working isn’t done through the kinds of employers who do this. This won’t help that at all.

The fact that social media and app companies can track all our data is not an argument for id cards. It is an argument for stopping software companies being able to do that.

Remember this twazzock, after the next election, could have his hands on your id card.

It's just so depressingly obvious.

Locking doors is causing tension with burglars so from now on we should all leave our houses open.

Is no one ever going to question how Sheldrick and Born Free have essentially bought themselves into running KWS like their own private free-range zookeeping service?

I wonder if he'll get a third state visit?

But this is idiotic when the person you get instead is Donald Fucking Trump.

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

People say "autism never used to exist" and then you go to the Natural History Museum and the exhibit has a caption like "Born in 1762, The Revd [name] was famously irascible, steadfast in his routine, and dedicated his life to collecting 25,000 rare beetle specimens".

And The Lord said you would reach the promised lands and there would be idiots everywhere.

The question is how many people can be convinced not to care?

Probably cuz it's not a funeral. It's a Nazi rally.

I don't think it's wise of the Lib Dems to promote the idea that asylum constitutes a national emergency, justifying use of the Civil Contingencies Act. That Act bestows enormous powers on ministers, to be used only in "the most serious of emergencies". Would Davey want Farage having those powers?

😂

How about you give students the option of having the cost off their bill? AI is a racket, it is not like the Internet in the late 90s early 2000s.

I don't think the problem is being rich, it's being a hypocritical wanker that's the problem.

But he got the biggest vote share increase since 1945.

An actual quote from the Secretary of State for Business and Trade Too often people go to university to ‘explore research and knowledge’ Look forward to Wes S saying 'too often people go to hospital to have operations' or Heidi Alexander saying 'too often people go to the station to catch a train'

Here's a better idea: every data centre you build, you build enough renewable energy to power it, and you supply the waste heat from your cooling system to power homes and businesses nearby. Simple. Common sense. And fair.

Disney learned nothing from Andor.

Please don't do it Pembrokeshire. I like visiting Pembrokeshire.

Incidentally, this is the kind of thing that the Malicious Communications Act was designed for, not projecting images of a Mango Manbaby on a castle.

Very firm statement on releases of captive-bred Turtle Doves, from Operation Turtle Dove inc @rspb.bsky.social & @naturalengland.bsky.social: *Doesn't meet IUCN guidelines *Risk of disease/genetic pollution *Irresponsible aims operationturtledove.org/captive-rele... 1/2 #ornithology #ukbirding

There are a number of TV commentators who I find grossly offensive, how do I get them arrested?

We have been described as "THE BEST NGO THAT NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT" Please help by following us & reposting!!!

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

It's yelling into the void but something tell me it just needs to kept being said: if you are still posting, RTing, or lurking on X, you are helping keep users there and you are helping this guy pull in advertising revenue. You are a volunteer worker for a slobbering, drug-addled white supremacist

Russia's incursion into Romanian airspace is once again a blatant violation of EU sovereignty and a serious threat to regional security. We are working closely with Romania and all Member States to protect the EU territory. Suntem solidari cu România.

Why was the protest even allowed to go ahead yesterday? There are rightly limits to free speech, should there not also be limits to the right to protest. Whatever the beliefs of anyone attending, this was a far-right racist protest and that has no place in a society I want to belong to.

"Musk marches on London. America's richest man calls for overthrow of British government". The British Government can't just wish this problem away. It can stay silent as night falls, or it can light the beacons and go out to meet it. observer.co.uk

Maybe it wasn't wise for everyone to spend the last few days fascinated by some twat who died and ignore the incursion of Russia into Polish airspace. BBC News - Romania becomes second Nato country to detect Russian drones in airspace - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday. I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric. Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

This must be a watershed moment. The government's continued use of X is no longer simply negligent. It is an act of conscious assistance to violent extremism.

Our democracy is too precious to be a plaything for foreign tech barons. Elon Musk doesn’t care about the British people or our rights. He only cares about himself and his ego.

Can anyone explain why the Government is still doing most of its communications through a website whose owner is now openly rallying the far right to trigger a violent insurrection on our streets?

I need you to understand what this country feels like right now for those of us who look different. I'm sitting here, trying to plan for Saturday, make sure I don't even need to go to the corner shop for milk, like it's Christmas Day or lockdown. Why? Because I live near where Yaxley-Lennon will 1/

Everyone over the age of 40 grew up with 0 social media and there appears to be plenty of nutjobs, biggots, misogynists and murders among them too.

I'd expect all children with a phone will have seen it. Internet media needs to be regulated like traditional media.

Urmm can everyone remember the most significant event that happened this week was Russian drones invading Polish airspace and that it needs a response. I'd suggest a no-fly zone for Russia over Western Ukraine.

Charlie Kirk’s death is an appalling event. Precisely because it is so appalling, it is staggering to see senior politicians and media figures commenting at a time when we don’t have firm evidence about motive or the murderer.

Linking green energy to your local school, your hospital, your workplace is a really smart thing to do. The anti-Net Zero movement wants to cast it as some top-down, abstract diktat that will make "ordinary people" cold and poor. So the fightback needs to emphasise its tangible, local benefits.

Astonishingly, I've discovered, the Tufton Street junktanks that shaped Liz Truss's agenda are still operating at the heart of government. Remind me what we voted for again ... This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

When is everyone going to learn to just not give them the time and leave Twitter.

It is with heavy heart (and, unfortunately, deep affection) that I must reshare a snippet from the 1980s masterpiece “Yes, Prime Minister”, in relation to Russia’s drone attack on a NATO ally.

If it was done as artistically as the Banksy, then yes. Lucy Connolly holding a sign saying"Two Tier Keir" is not that.
