@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social @lucympowell.bsky.social @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social You lot going to bother doing anything about this or are we just going to continue giving them a hard stare and pretending that we have done something. Ban them, fine them and don't let them back until this stops!

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

@sarahowen.org.uk I don't think the government's approach of giving them a hard stare is having the desired effect. Please for the love all that is innocent in this world legislate to stop this disgusting behaviour from continuing. These companies should be fined and blocked until fixed.

🚨 BREAKING: Andy Burnham is considering launching a public inquiry into the UK activities of paedophile Jeffrey Epstein

Just watched a Sky News segment on the Clacton by-election and they spent 90% talking to people about why they were voting for Farage. They then finished the segment and displayed the names of all the candidates on screen in grey boxes but with Nigel Farage highlighted blue... Why?

Over the past 18 months the US has tried various methods to insert themselves in to key strategic trade routes. Panama, Greenland, Straight of Gibraltar (Cueta, via Morocca), the Straight of Hormuz and the Adriatic Sea (Kushner buying an island of Albania). Why? @chadbourn.bsky.social

How much money has Elon Musk lost in the past month? It must be one of the greatest losses of wealth in history.

"Having taken no action to restructure the BBC board, or to address Ofcom’s inaction over GB News, Nandy will now also have the much more difficult task of introducing the social media ban for under-16s, and tackling Elon Musk’s effort to subvert UK democracy."

Andy Burnham’s ruthless reckoning for the Starmerites

The new PM was expected to redeploy a few of his predecessor’s loyalists - but they have been purged from his Cabinet

Lisa Nandy has had two years to help fix the mess of the BBC board, or Ofcom's response to GB News. Now she's also in charge of tackling social media, and Elon Musk's outright aggression against UK democracy. For some reason.

Not content with selling off the NHS data platform, and all of our medical history with it, to Palantir, Wes Streeting embarks on his next mission. Selling our defence industry to them. @chadbourn.bsky.social

Guardian: Nigel Farage told senior figures in Reform UK he would need “a million a year” to cover lost earnings if he stood for parliament in the 2024 general election, sources have told the Guardian, raising further questions about why he was given £5m by a crypto billionaire.

After Zia Yusuf accuses critics of endangering Reform politicians with violent language, he is read a list of quotes where he called Reform's opponents "lunatics who deserve extinction", "sick arsonists" and "traitors" who will face a "reckoning". He says these are in "a totally different category"

This is exactly why they need to do it, I think. As a lesson that you can't just fuck with the British state, which everyone currently assumes that they can. I simply do not believe that all investment dries up because a couple of execs are denied a paycheck. Financial people do not have solidarity.

If I remember correctly it is a fight they were scared off of because the shareholders and creditors threatened not to go ahead with other UK investments. Same as they were bullied by JP Morgan over their investments. Something Mandelson curiously advised JP Morgan to do to Gordon Brown in 2009.

Clearly maneuvers underway from Team Mahmood to undermine Ed. He's clearly the outstanding option if Burnham has the spine to pick him. Every single one of the worst people hate him which must mean he's doing something right!

UK must cap political donations to stop the rich buying influence. £100,000 cap won't end corruption. Only the rich can spare £100,000 to buy political parties, subvert public choices. Super rich can easily bypass limits by donations from multiple persons and companies. Must ban all donations.

What if all of the stories coming out about Nigel Farage aren't designed to bring him down? What if they are a sort of collective bring out your dead exercise ahead of a by-election which they plan to use to "wipe the slate clean".

Telling your followers to burn down hotels with asylum seekers in them is "hurty words". But Dan Hodges doing a few tweets is grounds to call the police.

And there it is. The vile twat got excited when he heard it was a murder investigation. How long do you think it was between Nigel finding out and then calling his press officer and texting his disciples to start piling on this to vindicate his £5m bribe? Man's a cunt.

How low will Farage go. Police say this was an interrupted burglary by a 26 year old white British male. And the police probably thought they had to spell that out in the certain knowledge Farage would do what he’s just done…because it’s always about HIM.

Putting their own influence above safeguarding our democracy. Cheers guys.
