One aspect of Manchester City story massively underplayed is that England now has an independent football regulator Premier League lobbied against it - even hired Peter Mandelson's lobbying firm Global Counsel Tufton Street think tanks lobbied against it But now the regulator exists - and can act

BBC’s coverage of Reform’s welfare plans is frankly bizarre. Headlines in Ten, leading on some radio networks. Reform are not even the official opposition and the plans have less credibility than Count Binface. Will BBC News do the same for Lib Dem and Greens policy two years out from an election?

I’m in a couple of WhatsApp chats and this is the extent of both of the chats. Something needs to happen in this country, the media has too much power. Bring back the IPCC, make Ofcom work again for broadcast media. Bring back some standards instead of bonfiring of regulations.

Two of these people around Farage were in and out of the Russian Embassy discussing Gold and Diamond deals. The third has been sentenced to over 10 years in prison for taking Kremlin Gold. How does anyone believe Nigel didn’t know?

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

So after spending years posing as a political martyr for being "debanked", we now find out Nigel Farage was also reported by bankers to the National Crime Agency over money laundering concerns, after secretly taking millions of pounds from a crypto billionaire

I hope the MPs who use this platform use this moment to tell their colleagues they should quit the race riot and non-consensual pornography platform once and for all, and call them out when they refuse. Musk clearly has no intention of cleaning up his platform, quite the opposite in fact.

Condemning riots isn't enough. We need policy action, including an immediate appraisal of X as a vehicle for coordinating far-right disorder. And we need political leadership, to challenge white nationalism as an idea, not to validate it daily and then complain when it turns violent.

My main criticism of these sorts of statements is it treatment disinformation and misinformation as a supply side issue, when its really a demand side issue. The solutions need to deal with what drives that demand, which is a sense of humiliation and/or betrayal.

We need to put pressure on our politicians and media institutions to leave X. We need government to hold Musk to account too. It's really not pretty what is going on there and it's long past the point when it was OK to indulge it.
