Let's take a look at this claim as "revealed" by the Daily Mail. TLDR - It's taken them a reeeeeally long time to "reveal" this law 😜 So what's the reality behind this headline? 🧵 1/23

Daily Mail headline:

Revealed: Drivers can take to the road aged 16 - if they are on benefits

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

Telegraph headiline:

"Heatwave hysterics wouldn't have lasted a day in 1976", overlaid with a bold “MONK DEBUNKED” stamp.

🚨FURY as Thames Water to host Careers Day for Refugees 🚨 Apparently...🤔 Who are all these furious people, making this newsworthy across several newspapers, TV channels, radio shows and countless YouTube videos? 🧵 1/23

Express headline:
Fury as Thames Water to host Careers Day for Refugees
Headline has a Monk Debunked stamp across the front.

As misleading headlines go, that has to be up there with some of the worst! As is the claim that "Immigration is fuelling mass unemployment among under-25s." The "shocking new study" does NOT show that at all 🙄 🧵 1/21

GB News headline:
GP who asked Muslim woman to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her' is struck off.

the ayatollahs came up to me, big strong bearded men, with tears in thier eyes and said "Sir, We respect you and your big hands so much that we want to negotiate a total resolution of our hostilities"....

Today we have a double debunk: 1. A debunk of the idea that 67 dog breeds are being banned in Britain 2. A debunk of what the usual suspects are saying online (because they are so tediously predictable!🙄) 🧵1/21

Parents and teaches owe him some gratitude for this. I cannot think of anything that will make a playground dance or catchphrase less cool to a primary child than the prime minister doing it - except maybe their own parents doing it.

I was tagged and asked to take a look at this claim - cos, well just look at it!🙄 Does it seem plausible that THE Trocadero is going to be turned into a Mosque? It was pretty easy to debunk but I decided to do a deep dive into the reality AND the appalling press coverage 🧵 1/26

🚨Small boat migrants getting “private health care” while the rest of us have to use the NHS?!🚨 That’s outrageous! Or is it? Might the reality be a little more mundane and a little less clickbait-worthy? Let’s take a 👀 1/17 🧵

🚨Christian children were told they'd "be Muslim by year 6"!🚨 😱Sounds outrageous? You know the drill… If it sounds outrageous and designed to trigger you into being angry with “other” people, then you need to do some 🪏 1/25 🧵

Insiders have told Byline Times, it is 'inconceivable' the Reform Leader did not know about his close aide's pro Russian statements

🔴NEW🔴 Thread 🧵 @bylinetimes.bsky.social can now reveal that, during the crucial period when convicted Reform leader Nathan Gill was most active, working directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s most senior ally in Ukraine, he was also one of Nigel Farage’s closest confidantes 1/12

I enjoy a well-thought-out, rule-based magic system in fiction as much as anyone, BUT I also think that we should give more props to what Terry Pratchett did in the Discworld books, where it was less about rules and more about vibes and, more importantly, what fit a given story the best. 🧵

Discworld: A disc-shaped world atop 4 elephants atop a giant turtle flying through space.

There seems to be some *confusion* among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them “But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes” “But, but he was in UKIP” “But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy” So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵 1/14
