Just me saying that any effort to tackle misinformation must be an attack on Reform, thereby admitting that Reform are helping Russia to spread far right narratives and create dissent and unrest.

I’m very interested in the new Amy Jeff’s King Arthur Book But it’s quite expensive. Would they be interested in buying a stranger half a book and I’ll get the other half?

Just so we are clear: The 83yo priest on the left is a terrorist. The balaclava-clad men on the right are protestors with legitimate concerns

Actually sad what AI has done to the world of souvenir fridge magnets, postcards, etc. It's kind of microcosmic of the whole issue: the people in charge of fridge magnets don't seem to care that fridge magnets actually matter to people who collect fridge magnets.

Zack Polanski will divide opinion among Jewish people, as among the general population. The Economist coverage + language here is problematic. "many British Jews see Polanski as a traitor to his origins" - how good is their evidence for this claim that many Jews apply this litmus test?

This is a disingenuous example. While MPs’ caseworkers seldom moonlight, there have been many, many cases over the years of researchers, speechwriters, campaign managers, office managers all moonlighting, typically as lobbyists - or even 🇨🇳 spies.
