Musk is posting on X that it's the only platform you can trust for news because "all the other platforms are bought and paid for". $44bn wasn't it?

@jackabbott.bsky.social At the very least THIS government should carry out an immediate speedy and PUBLIC analysis of costs/benefits of Brexit. The appeasing of this fascist project shows us where the country really stands.

Someone needs to invent some kind of online calculator whereby we Brits can put in our recent healthcare appointments/meds/experiences and it’ll calculate what it would cost on average in the USA. Just to hammer home how bloody lucky we are to have the NHS and how fiercely we need to protect it.
