Good morning @tomwatsonofficial.bsky.social Your journey from MP who most understood the Cambridge Analytica scandal to paid-up Palantir apologist is really quite the journey. Hope the pay packet is worth it. 💰 Here’s some background reading ahead of your first day 🧵👇

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

Hard to think of a more deeply damaging start to Burnham’s premiership than giving green light to new oil & gas in N. Sea, if true. It won’t lower bills or lead to greater energy security but will drive an even hotter planet. What a terrible signal to give to rest of the world #ClimateVandalism

This is razor sharp in a way I've not read from any other writer on the topic. So many lines I could quote. It's absolutely excellent. Go read it.
The queer vote, the, for lack of a better word, ‘internationalist’ vote, are invariably going to be core pillars of any modern centre-left party’s coalition. They’ll put up with a certain amount of performative moderation, given how frightening the alternatives are, but their patience is not infinite. People will not cast ballots for a party that is actively oppressing them, removing longstanding rights, or describing them in dehumanizing terms. The actual centre-left coalition is bartenders, supermarket shelve stackers, and waitresses. People who live in a big city in a small rental with roommates. Nurses, teachers, office staff. Young aspirational couples in the suburbs. Students and recent grads. Progressive professionals and, yes, academics. To those who are baffled by the hatred of Starmer from the left, ask yourself, if you were to be prevented from using a toilet, would it matter to you if it was done directly, or through an intermediary? Ask yourself also how people who work service roles might feel about those who outsource ugly, discriminatory conversations to them, in order to keep their own hands clean, to maintain their self-image as ‘decent’ people.

Phone ban, social media ban & curfew, trans bathroom ban, trans youth healthcare ban, repeated protest ban, arrests of peaceful protestors for Palestine. All this government seems able to do is ban, ban, ban. No positive vision of the future, just kneejerk authoritarian crackdowns.

It’s a pretty weird week when a guy who wants to be a trillionaire is simultaneously getting headlines for the economy-shattering IPO expected Friday and the racist pogroms he is accused of stoking — but these stories are viewed as separate and in no way connected or prescient of the future.

I will point out that the Prime Minister felt that the assassination of an American YouTuber required him to release a formal within 30 minutes of it happening at 11pm on a Friday night. But race riots in the UK itself aren’t worth his time

At what point does one arrest Elon Musk and Tommy Robinson for their role in all this? Via: www.theguardian.com/politics/liv... www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
Elon Musk backs far-right, online calls for protests in response to Belfast stabbing
It is not to see why the Police Service of Northern Ireland is worried about disorder tonight. There is a history of anti-immigrant rioting in Northern Ireland, with the most prominent recent example being last year’s mob violence in Ballymena, which led to dozens of Romanian and Bulgarian Roma families having to flee their homes.

Tommy Robinson, the far-right, anti-migrant activist and provocateur, has been using his X account to publicise a list of places where he is calling for “mass protest” in Northern Ireland. Within the last hour, his list has been retweeted approvingly by Elon Musk, who owns X and has 240m followers on the platform.

These are the sorts of people Jon Boutcher, the PSNI chief constable, probably had in mind when he spoke earlier about the risk posed by “people who know nothing about Northern Ireland … [commenting] from afar through social media”. (See 4.49pm.)There are fears there could be disorder after figures on social media, including Elon Musk, called for people to fill the streets in protest against immigration. The alleged perpetrator of the attack, which was filmed and shared widely online, was revealed today as an asylum seeker from Sudan.
