Welcome to Diane Abbot's world....

Could you please ask any politician seeking a new enquiry what they believe was missing from the earlier enquiries

stepupping.bsky.social•57 days ago

Or if they are Tory, why they never did further enquiries?

algobtcc.bsky.social•57 days ago

He's such an idiot. Jess is by far one of the best MPs this country has ever seen.

isolar76.bsky.social•56 days ago

The face of someone truly under metal, social and physical threat.
Compare that to Farage and his faux security risk and rationale why he can’t run surgeries in #Clacton

It's time that all Govt departments, local authorities, and all the emergency services deleted their X accounts. Not just because of Musk's political views, but because the public on X is vulnerable to hatred, rape threats, and worse and cannot now block the haters, and posts can be scraped for AI.

Jess Philips is part of the great in Great Britain and all great Brits should support and defend her.

andybuchan.bsky.social•57 days ago

Jess is inspirational in her work to support and protect women and it’s absolutely disgusting to hear the despicable attacks on her from people who don’t care about women.

sneag.bsky.social•57 days ago

And yet your colleagues on BBC News keep amplifying Musk's dangerous disinformation.

Looks like Zuckerberg is heading down the sewer now

lisasafrey.bsky.social•57 days ago

What he’s doing is awful but also very obviously ridiculous

hotchkiss13.bsky.social•57 days ago

Every, every uk politician who fails to condemn EMs comments is unfit for any form of office.

williamhumphrey.bsky.social•57 days ago

Of course they have, he knew full well what he was doing. He needs to be barred from entering UK, proscribe him and his businesses. We will all be better off, and safer.

edelebearwithme.bsky.social•54 days ago

Can the bbc not ask farage and reform their position on all this? Think it is relevant considering the connection. Do reform back trumps claims to Greenland? Do they back elon musk intervering? Why do I even have to beg for this?

sue678.bsky.social•57 days ago

Why do the BBC keep using Twitter? Doing so supports Musk

stepupping.bsky.social•57 days ago

Why do they and #lbc, particularly #nickfarrari keep giving him and his ilks; #Forage of #forageriots a platform? It's disgusting!

ivorbumpton.bsky.social•57 days ago

She doesn't deserve this. It's an outrage. The British people need to unite against this hateful spreading of lies.

paoulo.bsky.social•57 days ago

Jess is a woman’s far as I’m aware, is it only American women Donald ? Or could you have a word with musky ? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9QPOK3mjs4c

georgeawatt.bsky.social•57 days ago

surely Musk has to be held accountable or are billionaires above the law in every country🤦🏻

bartsglasses.bsky.social•56 days ago

Sue him and bring him to court.

tedalk.bsky.social•57 days ago

Yeah, but you also made sure to push the line that Musk’s evil tweets are ultimately a good thing. Why on earth did you have Dorries on other than that she’s good telly? And are you and your colleagues still on X?

kevlatham.bsky.social•57 days ago

Musk is using his position of privilege to try to influence people towards his own ends. I honestly don’t think any ‘collateral damage’ like Jess Phillips bothers him. Why should it? It’s not his country. I think he’s playing some recklessly dangerous games and God help us when Trump is sworn in

sadietrent92.bsky.social•57 days ago

As someone who knows Jess pretty well, this is extremely upsetting. To see this hate tear her down like this. I wouldn’t be say here with both of my degrees today if it wasn’t for her picking the phone up to me when my constituency Labour Party were tearing me apart

royllowarch.bsky.social•57 days ago

Everything that can be done should be done to protect Jess and others from this vileness. I bet if the UK banned X Twitter most other European countries would follow our example. Musk should also banned from entering the UK.

turntable100.bsky.social•56 days ago

Exactly… let’s have an enquiry into this hate on Jess 🙄

deanoo.bsky.social•57 days ago

Just call the USA ambassador in.

turntable100.bsky.social•56 days ago

That’s right… poor Jess the middle class victim …

Forget the 1,000’s of working class girls raped
