Musk, Vance & Trump all misrepresent democracy. When they say “democracy”, they mean a free-for-all with no rule of law, where the winner takes all. When Europe says “democracy”, we mean proportional representation, collaborative politics, citizen rights, and agreed guide rails guaranteed by law.

So not only is Musk amplifying Reform Uk Ltd’s posts. He’s also paying them to post. Hence why you see Rupert Lowe posting constantly. He’s earned over £8000.

I wonder whether anyone at the Beeb has ever told Robbie Gibb, the Brexit-supporting board member knighted by his former boss Theresa May who polices the ‘impartiality’ of others, to piss off. Someone senior, whether on or off air staff, really needs to. This nonsense can’t continue.

An image leaked to Byline Times shows Reform MP Nigel Farage posing with far-right activists, including individuals associated with anti-migrant protests and racist social media posts. No response to our request for comment from Farage so far. A concerning scoop by @josiah.writes.news 👇

There is no other way of saying it. A majority in a democracy were groomed to vote for evil. Don’t think that what happened in the US cannot happen in the UK. It requires only the control of information.

The reason you are having a bad time is the same reason people always have a bad time. Because the rich are taking a disproportionate fraction of resources. And the reason you think it’sthe people who don’t look like you who are the cause is because the rich are telling you that.

Why is the government happy to cosy up to China, but won't even look at a better customs deal with our closest neighbours in Europe? Ministers say they’re looking everywhere for growth but are ignoring what is staring them in the face.

Turns out the President Musk thing was off base because Stephen Miller is really running the country. These are Miller’s ideas and Miller’s executive orders. Trump is just signing them and talking gibberish about what’s in them.

Donald Trump returning to the White House will be deeply worrying for millions of people in the UK and around the world. With a President who promises trade wars, undermines NATO and praises Vladimir Putin, the threats to our national security and our economy are clear.

In the next 4 years you are going to see a collection of the dirtiest little shills working for Donald Trump and Elon Musk to push their billionaire fascism into the UK. These people are the worst of the worst, the dirtiest and most despicable traitors. Mark them all.

I’ve been investigating child sexual exploitation for 12 years, and commissioned other journalists to do so, while Laurence Fox was swanning around on TV and stage. He doesn’t care about victims. He’s exploiting CSE for his own daft ends

Some on the British right are all jostling to get retweeted by Elon Musk - to the point where nothing else matters. It's as dignified as a naked mud slide at a vodka promotion... but then Mackenzie didn't have much in the first place

I see three distinct phases. Pre-Fox, when opinion was diverse but actual facts were indisputable. Fox/Trump, where objective truth was subjected to the false equivalence of ‘alternative facts’ (ie lies). And now, where media & tech platform owners collude with him to drown out the truth altogether.
