Key to this is calling it what it is and them what they are, OUT THERE. It’s all well and good naming the threat to our online circles, but more often than not we’re interacting with people who already know. It’s the people who aren’t in these circles who need to hear it.

With the world looking increasingly more dangerous and the US turning into a basket case, it’s time to have a long, hard look at who our ‘special relationship’ ought to be with. It’s not with those on the other side of the Atlantic, it’s with those on the other side of the Channel. #Rejoin, now.

Thought experiment for Labour… With over 4yrs and a huge majority, why not stir it up? Pitch your tent defiantly on the liberal lawn, loudly reject the epic failures of Brexit and rightwing immigration ideology and see how many liberal votes you gain instead of chasing Reform into a toxic dead end?

Axel Rudakubana was not born with an interest in extreme violence. Something, probably many somethings, made him that way. I do so often wonder in situations like this, how much responsibility we as a society share for the eventual, devastating outcome.

He is holding what appears to be a mobile phone and there is a sign on the wall behind and above him which reads ‘Video Link Court Room 4’.

With Musk pimping for Reform, spreading hateful misinformation, calling for our govt to be brought down and one of its MPs to be imprisoned, all decent MPs should question whether they should be on X at all. They’re enabling a profoundly undemocratic threat to our country by being on his platform.

No you won’t, #Labour. In the main, Reform voters aren’t interested in arguments, no matter how well thought out they are. They’re emotional voters, reacting to Farage’s scare/rage-bait tactics. But besides all that, I don’t really want foreign money in UK politics, regardless of source or party.

Screenshot of quote from Guardian article dated 21st December 2014 which reads: We'll beat Reform by defeating their arguments rather than changing the rules to stop them getting money from Elon Musk," said a source. "You don't successfully take on populists by changing the rules in bid to thwart them.

The Devolution White Paper says ‘take back control’ 6 times, and uses phrases like ‘skin in the game’ (4 times) and ‘when the rubber hits the road’. Is it too much to ask that politicians be professional and just say what they plan to do, without all this bollocks?
