I don't understand the political timidity when it comes to regulating social media. These are companies that have decimated the free press, fuelled race riots on our streets, undermined the mental health of our children, paid little tax and are now undermining liberal democracy itself.

A psychotic billionaire bought a social media platform and turned it into a cesspool of white supremacists but sure, the people going elsewhere to post are the problem.

In 1988 there were 350k cases of polio reported. In 2018 there were just 33. That’s what the 2 polio vaccines did: banished the disease from most of the planet. This is utterly insane. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/h...

New figures from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation: - 7 million families are going without essentials, including 5.4 million without enough food. - 86% of those on Universal Credit, and 93% of those with UC deductions, are affected. Overgenerous benefits, #Dispatches?

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

At some point we have to talk about the obvious: Trump is not forming an administration, but a terrorist regime based on nepotism, criminality and espionage to destroy the United States.

Jeez. Boris Johnson is now on French radio saying “We forget all this now because it was two or three years ago but when we had the pandemic, thanks to Brexit we had the chance to do the vaccinations in England much earlier” I’ve debunked this absolute boll**** many times👇

Researchers say Twitter changed its algorithm to promote Elon Musk and Republican posts leading up to the election. "The date at which [the spike] in engagement occurs coincides with Elon Musk's formal endorsement of Donald Trump on 13th July 2024." eprints.qut.edu.au/253211/

What is the precise moment in the life of a country when tyranny takes hold? It rarely happens in an instant; it arrives like twilight and, at first, the eyes adjust. Albert Camus
