A ground-breaking official report in Wales recommends that the Welsh equivalent of the Representation of the People Act, the RPO, be amended to ensure that any political candidate or campaign manager who issues a deliberately false statement to gain electoral advantage could be guilty of an offence

🚨FACTS AND TRUTH MATTER If you still agree with this principle please watch & share this FACT CHECK widely youtu.be/HpmDquOkSCY?...

Feels a bit like Jan 6, except this time without the naïve belief that everyone would abandon Trump once his depravity became undeniable.

Why are we still bankrolling outdated fossil fuels? #fundthefuture

James, USA is anti EU because the EU is trying to control social media & get the big tech companies to pay tax??

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social Can we have some publicity videos about government action on homelessness? This focus on immigration is tiresome and not why I voted Labour. Today I met Elsie, who sleeps in a car park, sitting on the pavement outside Greggs. I bought her a snack. Depressing.

FOR THE THIRD TIME Meloni has shipped a handful of asylum seekers back & forth across the Adriatic. This is costing Italian taxpayers hundreds of millions. It is a farcical spectacle of cruelty that only serves to highlight the lack of control you get from the far right

Update. The Telegraph has now corrected its entirely fabricated claim that 1 in 12 Londoners is an "illegal migrant" and has accepted that this claim was false in *four" separate respects. However, this has not resolved my complaint to IPSO - I will continue to request a front-page correction.

77 years since the Nakba began, Palestinians continue to resist erasure & displacement. Today, after 15 months of genocide, a million returned to northern Gaza, defying those who tried to erase them. Their unbreakable spirit proves no force can extinguish the right of return. 🇵🇸

Why do BBC give Laura Kuenssberg free rein to write this drivel? "The big picture is tough. The country's debts are massive and taxes are huge." It's not even wrong/biased. It's just vacuous twaddle that adds absolutely nothing to public understanding of the issues. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Such lovely news. Not posting there works. If you still are as some way of sticking it to the man please stop, you're just driving their dwindling profits.

Elon Musk has posed as a champion of those poor bereaved families in Southport but the killer watched a violent video just before his killing spree *on X* and Musk is refusing to take it down despite numerous official requests from UK & Australian authorities www.ft.com/content/3c89...

This is ridiculous. Rat infested prison that may never reopen pays Prince William’s Duchy £1.5m a year HMP Dartmoor, which closed in August over toxic gas fears, has 24 years left on its lease www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Self-diagnosing WMDs on the other hand....

So Nigel Farage has replaced Boris Johnson as the MP trousering the most money from other jobs. Farage has pocketed over £570,000 in outside income in just six months. I brought a Bill to ban all MPs' Second Jobs. I'll keep pushing to end this racket once and for all.

Make no mistake. Every politician, pundit & online grifter amplifying Musk's dangerous lies will be aware of this intervention by now. Make no mistake, they are choosing to mislead the public & politicise the suffering of victims in the shameful pursuit of political advantage, attention & clicks.

'Why is your party not condemning this vicious, dishonest attack upon a woman held up by victims as the politician who has helped them more than any other?' @mrjamesob.bsky.social sends a message to Tory members after Elon Musk called Jess Phillips 'a rape genocide apologist'.

This is the colleague that the likes of Cleverly, Badenoch & Jenrick are refusing to defend...

In other news, Nigel Farage didn't bother to turn up to the debate on grooming gangs in the House of Commons just now

“£60 million is being spaffed up the wall on some investigation into historic child abuse. What on earth is that going to do to protect the public now?” — Boris Johnson, speaking on LBC in March 2019.
