A Bish Called Wonderful.

Elon Musk does not represent the views of British people. So I've signed the open letter telling him to butt out of UK politics. Agree? Sign & share far & wide across social media so he sees & knows we won't stand for his meddling. act.38degrees.org.uk/act/elon-mus...

Farage, Musk and Trump: they crave your attention. Don’t give it to them | Andy Beckett

Experts say Musk's social media activity “comfortably sits within any definition of an extremist” www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/counter...

The Broligarchy VS the UK government : Revenge of the Nerds. As a UK poll reveals that ol’ Ketamine Karen is about as popular here as a dose of the clap, I take a look at the links between the bro-verlords and the international far right network. Shits getting real. youtu.be/Wh-dnijlMA4

We can't let British democracy turn into a plaything for overseas billionaires with short attention spans. At PMQs, I urged the Prime Minister to work with us to make sure power always sits with the voters, not wealthy foreign oligarchs.

STORY Kemi Badenoch hasn't actually met any grooming gang survivors - and doesn't think she needs to www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Why can those getting on the bandwagon not listen to the victims who want actions, not another inquiry. 7500 victims listened to. Why retraumatise these strong women and children for political point scoring.

How many times in the past week have you heard UK broadcasters say “Pakistani grooming gangs” despite 2% of Pakistanis being responsible for child sexual abuse? 88% are white British. How many times has Musk or Farage been the headline? They are openly normalising far right narratives.

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.

Screechy Carole Malone on Jeremy Vine again. Time to turn off.

Here is the key section of that train wreck of an interview by Robert Jenrick on #r4today. Robinson: Did you raise it when you were Home Office minister? Jenrick: We talked about it... I wasn't... My portfolio... But we talked about it. Only a minute, if you can bear it. ~AA

I can't believe what I am reading. I thought X was bad, but OMG this is the worst I have ever seen. The things people are saying about Jess is beyond vile. If this was summer and we had lovely weather I think the RW fools would be using this for an excuse for a good riot. Thank god it is cold

Prof Alexis Jay, chair of public inquiry into child sexual abuse, says further national inquiry into grooming gangs isn’t needed & would delay action. “The time has passed for more inquiries, we’ve had enough… We’ve set out action required & people should just get on with it, nationally & locally”

We need urgent realignment with Europe, watertight counter disinformation laws, social media regulation, laws against foreign interference/foreign funding, the same re. the press plus reform, an overhaul of Ofcom and a PM that will firmly tell our insane hillbilly cousin, America, to go fuck itself.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Thank goodness you are back. Missed you so much over the last couple of weeks. Happy new year.

Elon Musk seems to think that Tommy Robinson is some great hero in the UK, rather than someone who is even more despised than Elon Musk. But that's idiots for you, they are stupid.

Farage’s refusal to condemn Musk’s outrageous statements shows total unfitness for public office. But @bbclaurak.bsky.social fails to hold him to account & allows whole interview to be on his terms. No focus on Reform’s divisive policies & no effective challenge to his dangerous insinuations

Absolutely spot on from @carolinelucas.bsky.social

Final attempt at getting banned from Twitter Elon Musk seemingly doesn’t like facts

The devolution of Twitter.

Here we go 😡😡😡

The brassneck of Badenoch calling for an inquiry into grooming gangs when the Tory government -- that she served in -- almost entirely ignored the recommendations of the forensic, long-running independent inquiry into child sex abuse that reported in 2022

Suella Braverman has just told #lbc listeners that not only has Italy built a wall on "its border with Turkey" but that she has been there "and seen it."

So... Just heard Suella Braverman said that Italy *has a wall on its border with Turkey and that she's seen it*. 1. Italy doesn't share a border with Turkey. 2. At their closest points they're around 670km/416 miles apart. 3. She's a fucking asinine shit-muppet.
