NEW: Dozens of ads containing video and other child sexual abuse material ran across Meta’s social media platforms, including some as recently as yesterday. @mattburgess1.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/meta-r...

I don’t think Badenoch’s plainly unreformed neo-Nazi adviser is any sillier or more insulting than anything else her cohort have to say about destabilisation, anti-racism and anti-extremism. She’s just too stupid to realise you can’t do this with someone jailed for quite horrifically abusing an MP.

Once again, I come back to the fact these guys have created a situation where one of the UK's leading, cis female athletes is scared to go to the loo alone, and the fact that they are celebrating this as a step forward for women's rights.

To pick just one from a foaming legion of truly hateful psychos and far right headbangers: here’s what one of their current advisors regards as extreme. And he is far from the worst of this cavalcade of crackpots.

You do not need AI to make content. I just found a TikTok account that is just a glass of milk in different locations listening to rock music. It has tens of thousands of followers.

NEW: Over the last few months, Meta has run dozens of paid ads that included AI-generated CSAM. The ads, some of which were linking out to “nudify” apps, targeted men in the US, UK, and a dozen European countries. Some were running in the last few days

Meta Ran Ads That Contained AI-Generated Child Sexual Abuse Imagery

More than 50 offending image and video ads were published across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, or Threads, according to Meta’s ad library data. Some ran as recently as this week.

"The Labour government has made a choice, one rooted in the patriarchy, to further police women’s bodies and exclude people who do not conform to arbitrary standards of femininity. ..we reject their Code of Practice and the colonial, misogynistic, sexist, and transphobic assumptions they employ" ✊🏼

The bar may have been on the floor, but this Labour government has still managed to crawl beneath it Labour's dangerous Code of Practice cements its place as the most misogynistic administration women in the UK have had to endure in a generation #DoNotComply

I’m not a “Europe is hopelessly poor” person nor a “GDP explains everything” person but tbh whenever I see someone complain that EVERYTHING in MODERN LIFE has gotten MONOTONICALLY WORSE there‘s a good chance they’re in the UK which has in fact been in and out of recession for 10 years

Here are the stupidest things Kemi Badenoch has said so far today inews.co.uk/opinion/kemi...

The important thing to know about boots is that Dr. Martens was bought by a private equity firm a while back, the boots are now garbage in terms of construction quality, but Solovair set up to make similar boots on the old equipment in the old factory and their versions are much better quality.

Will Wilkinson@wlknsn.xyz · 6h ago

My take on boots discourse is that we face a lemons problem with many consumer goods, given the acquisition of many storied brands by companies aggressively milking accumulated brand equity for higher profits, such that price and reputation for durability does not reliably predict higher roi.

Today in "it's not helpful we speak the same language": a surprising number of "this wouldn't be a problem if not for lawn grass, plant native plants that can handle the weather" responses to photos of dried out England & Wales My Good Yanks, that is indeed native grass that is parched

There are around 15 - 20 disinformation sites and accounts in Northern Ireland. The PSNI have a duty to tackle these when disnformation is being used to incite violence. PSNI again are allowing known far-right hate sites to incite the next pogrom without intervention. Who are PSNI protecting?[1/2]

And now she's given him a job as an advisor: 'Badenoch [has] instead offered him a position as an adviser to the party's Culture and Integration Commission, focusing "on how young men become radicalised".'

Badenoch truly is impressive, most leaders wouldn't even try to defend a former neo-Nazi candidate but ahe gets out there, does it, and manages to denigrate the work of all her party's councillors in the process. Multi-tasking.

I think we should all be particularly proud of (and I'm not the first to point this out) is that they have also been prompted to lay out in detail, via quotes, all the most serious facts and allegations against him, to a readership that was probably oblivious to them.

Guys, The Telegraph are at home crying into their gilets that you pointed out correctly their dead friend Rod Liddle was a wife beating racist self confessed paedophile, I hope you're proud of yourselves

I was wondering why I’d got 19 clickthroughs from The Daily Telegraph…

Anyway, I think it's incredible that in Kemi Badenoch's Conservative party you'll get banned from being a candidate for believing in climate change, but not for being a neo-Nazi with a criminal record.

genuinely why doesn't Google Maps have a setting you can tick that says "I will not in fact die on the spot if I have to walk for over 20 minutes and would prefer a walk and a tube to somehow seventeen buses"

I still maintain that Badenoch is the most spectacularly incompetent party leader, but Polanski is determined to give her a run for her money 🤦‍♂️

George Potter 🔶@georgepotter.bsky.social · 7h ago

So I see Zack Polanski is defending the neo-Nazi anti-Semite Conservative candidate with violence and burglary convictions (the one who is still making abusive videos about political opponents). How can the Greens be *this* bad at politics???

Cis woman on now speaking about how much she has been challenged, had security called on her because she has PCOS. Says she's never had a problem with trans women but multiple problems with GC women. She's on the verge of tears.

I'd note that while the claim appears to be that having "reformed" he now spends his time combating antisemitism, what he actually does is produce videos like this. Certainly not Nazism, but hardly befitting Her Majesty's Opposition... youtu.be/WwOtIGuuNMg?...

No mention of anti-Muslim hatred. This isn't mere whataboutery - if the argument is former neo-Nazis should be selected having renounced their antisemitic views, it'd be stronger if it mentioned a form of hate that is as prevalent and dangerous. conservativehome.com/2026/08/05/j...

"The party leadership insists this former extremist with a media career now holds completely normal beliefs" is reminding me of the Lib Dems and Maajid Nawaz.

Among the other issues with this... it's extremely dismissive of the importance of services that councils deliver and which have huge effects on people's lives, such as their roles in education, child protection or social care.
