A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss. She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’ Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻‍♂️

If you'd like to build your followers, please post something or have your bio let us know about yourself. If I see nothing not sure who you are. Really trying to keep MAGA off my feed. Feeling calmer here and want to keep it that way. Pictures of yourself shirtless don't really help either 😂.

"A former babysitter for his children alleged that Kennedy groped her in his home in 1998. Kennedy responded to the accusation, again reported in Vanity Fair, by saying: “I’m not a church boy.”" What does that reply even mean? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Do we think this very serious disruption to peoples' lives would be covered A) in the same way as Just Stop Oil stunts or B) in a very different and staggeringly hypocritical way?

"I switched to Bluesky back in August when Musk used the Southport riots to promote the idea of civil war in Britain. So far, it feels like swapping stilettos for trainers: initially you worry about wimping out, then you wonder why you ever put up with crippled feet for so long."

Andrew Bailey is right. Most people don't realise how shockingly *bad* is the UK's goods trade performance after Brexit and the pandemic. UK exports are 23% lower than the pre-2020 trend and imports are 16% below the trend.

Tens of thousands of workers have been stripped of their democratic right to strike, their trade union slapped with six-figure fines for standing up for the rights of its members & their leaders threatened with imprisonment - damn right I’m standing with the POA Union youtu.be/3Cqkao8zYiQ?...
