Many MAGA “Christians” don’t even think Catholics are fellow Christians so it’s not really worth listening to their opinions on who the new pope is

It is still too close to call whether the party will secure a majority, as votes are still being counted around the country.

Here's a bit of news for Talk TV and Mike Graham: No British prime minister has ever attended the inauguration of a US president. The UK ambassador to the US traditionally attends US presidential inaugurations on behalf of the British government.

Pretty sure it's not up to women to "think carefully" about taking a higher-paid job than their partner. It's up to their partner to get the fuck over himself and be pleased for her.

I have deleted my X/Twitter account. I urge others to do the same. It can no longer pretend to be anything other than a danger and harm to our democracy. My full statement is below:
A graphic from a phone notes app. The header reads "Statement on X/Twitter". The body reads:

I have today decided to delete my Twitter/X account – It can no longer pretend to be anything other than a danger and harm to our democracy, and I would urge others to do the same.

I’ve always valued social media as a way to connect directly with people — sharing information, listening to different views, and engaging with communities. Platforms like Twitter have in the past played an important role in allowing MPs to stay accessible, promote transparency, and ensure the concerns of the public are heard loud and clear.

Unfortunately, since Elon Musk’s takeover, Twitter/X has become a deeply toxic space that no longer serves those purposes. His actions—spreading conspiracy theories and enabling the spread of disinformation — pose a real danger to democracy and public trust. The blatant promotion of dangerous narratives, including efforts to undermine legitimately elected governments, has become intolerable. Twitter/X has shifted from being a platform for open discussion to a tool for manipulation and division.The same style graphic as previous, with the text continuing as follows:

Musk’s interference in how information is shared — by pushing certain voices forward, reinstating and personally sharing content from accounts that promote hate, while sidelining other voices — has destroyed the neutrality needed for honest, fair public debate. Instead of fostering transparency, Twitter/X is now a platform that actively undermines the values I believe are crucial for democracy.

I cannot continue to use a platform that has become so harmful. After long consideration I have therefore deleted my Twitter/X account.

I’ll continue to find other ways to engage with constituents and communities, and I hope this decision highlights just how urgent it is to push back against the spread of disinformation and the misuse of social media platforms. We need digital spaces that support truth, democracy, and fairness—not ones that tear them down.

This is followed by a signature, and then the author's details - Kevin McKenna MP, Member of Parliament for Sittingbourne and Sheppey.
