There’s a small circle of crypto billionaires and foreign speculators who look at British politics and see an opportunity to make money. And right now, they're bankrolling Nigel Farage's Reform UK to achieve their commercial ends 👇 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Despite strong age restrictions on pornography, this research shows that social media platforms are still showing sexualised content to children. That’s why the government’s social media ban needs to stay on track to ensure children can be protected. www.thetimes.com/uk/technolog...

The ‘funnel to pornography’ promoted to children on TikTok

OnlyFans performers use social media sites to tout their services — and users as young as 14 can face an avalanche of adverts

"Women have never achieved any change without being optimistic and without recognising that when we do get together, we can make a big difference. We just have to keep going." I spoke to Grazia about my legal action against xAI 👇 graziadaily.co.uk/life/in-the-...

“We would hope that it does pressure them to be really attentive to what their tools do and to the rights of the people who use it and who are victims of any harm they cause.” Read more on @jessasatomp.bsky.social's case against Grok: www.computerweekly.com/news/3666456...

Our @bmj.com editorial sums up why physical punishment should be outlawed everywhere: decades of research shows it harms children in numerous ways, it increases the risk of physical abuse, and it violates children’s human rights. There are no benefits. @ucliehc.bsky.social @nuffieldfoundation.org

The BMJ@bmj.com · 3w ago

"Physical punishment is universally harmful to children and ineffective as discipline." Children should have the same legal protection from assault as adults www.bmj.com/content/394/...

🧵I’d rather spend my weekends doing something else than post about Nigel Farage’s murky finances, but his behaviour poses such a threat to our democratic norms that I wanted to flag a number of points in the public interest.

Revealed: Nigel Farage secretly funded by convicted criminal

The Reform UK leader did not declare benefits including staff, security and housing by crypto-gambler George Cottrell, our investigation reveals

AI companies should not build tools that facilitate degrading, humiliating and deeply harmful abuse, then wash their hands of the consequences. This case is about setting a precedent that puts people's safety online before Big Tech's profits. www.independent.co.uk/tech/mp-jess...

MP Jess Asato: Why I’m suing Elon Musk’s xAI over sexualised images of me

The Lowestoft MP never expected to sue the richest man in the world, but after xAI’s chatbot was used to create manipulated images of her, the Labour politician is fighting back – not just for herself...

This powerful reporting by Harriet Grant shows there needs to be a strengthening of the law when it comes to written child sexual abuse material. Emily is a victim and it’s absurd to say she isn’t. The huge breach of trust and psychological harm is clear. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Police arrived to arrest her father for sexual abuse. But he was making it all up

Mark described abusing his daughter in a chatroom. Then it turned out nothing he had posted was true – and he walked free. With ‘fantasy abuse’ on the rise, can Emily and her mother win their fight to...

40 years after Britain built our last long-duration electricity storage, we’re building again. With a new generation of cutting-edge batteries & pumped hydro, we’ll store more clean power, reduce waste, protect families from fossil fuel price shocks so we can drive down bills.

Kemi lost her head at PMQs - and afterwards too. It's not the first time. She's compared me to a Gestapo officer. I wonder what it is about a working class woman driving record investment in state schools by ending private schools' tax breaks that the Tories hate so much.

Bridget Phillipson MP@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social · 2mo ago

The Gestapo marched hundreds of thousands of innocent people to their deaths. I've ended private schools' tax breaks to invest in state schools. No responsible leader makes vile comparisons like this. Kemi Badenoch is not fit to be Prime Minister.

Keir Starmer transformed the Labour Party and secured a historic victory in 2024 - one which has helped us to deliver huge changes. An end to the two child benefit limit, a new child poverty strategy and big steps forward to tackle violence against women and girls.

Big game for England tonight. But as well as looking at xG for predicted goals we need to think about tonight's xV: the ‘Expected Violence’ against women. During tournaments like the World Cup, stats show that domestic abuse can rise 26% when England win, 38% when they lose. 👇

📱 I’ve been campaigning for stronger protections for children online for many years, so I was pleased to hear the Secretary of State for Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, Liz Kendall MP, recognise that work in Parliament yesterday. 👇
