There’s a class of ideologist who proclaims to be socialist but actually has more in common with Peter Thiel and libertarians than anything traditionally held up as good for society. Constantly undermining Labour and ignoring the dangers of Reform or the neo-Tories, they are as venomous as both.

The NHS wants their logo out of our spoof video, but we’re not going to be silenced. We won’t stop criticising their contract with Palantir. After all, it’s not our fault they went into business with a sinister company hungry for our data 👀

No matter how good Burnham’s speech was - without stricter laws on foreign media ownership, crack-downs on politically owned TV channels, and stricter laws on social media marketing, the end result will still be akin to peeing in the wind.

I interviewed an email scammer once for an article. I asked them why the emails were so blatantly fake - badly designed, riddled with typos and sent from famous people like ‘Mr Barack Obama’. They said it was by design. Only the most stupid replied making them far more likely to pay up!

First Farage says they are Iranians who came here on boats. Then Trump claims US had been monitoring them for ages and THEY had got them. Now, white UK citizens in their 20s let out on bail. What next, turns out to be a bunch of Uni students taking a gas canister to digs for a late summer BBQ?

Sustained economic growth can’t be achieved without a major boost to the purchasing power of the bottom 50% of the UK population. The govt can do so immediately by increasing income tax-free personal allowance by £3,000. All it needs to do is to end subsidies to commercial banks.

This is how the Chancellor can increase the personal allowance and lift millions out of hardship

Anyone else noticed a big move to video on Sky and BBC news apps? I’m sure they’d say it’s how the young folk consume content these days grandma. Nothing whatsoever to do with it being much easier to get adverts watched at a higher cpm (FYI BBC injects ads outside UK). I just want to read!

£36 million donated to Reform for the exact same reasons that Musk donated money (and questionable technology) to getting Trump in - the guarantee of billions in return from a regulation-free country post a Reform government. This is truly insane. Stand up Burnham and show your mettle man!

He successfully removed the UK from Europe, cut Iceland off from joining the EU, is about to switch in French and German governments to far right puppets, and - his biggest coup, owns America. Oh well - democracy and freedom was fun while it lasted, even if it was largely an illusion.

As a former journalist I’ve watched it happen. The web started the decline of the press, social media gave it tools to cling on: shock, anger, hatred - clickbait journalism. Now we live in a changed world with laws crafted for a bygone age. The media needs to be restrained - it’s a social emergency!
