‘The algorithms on X push people to the extremes!’

Sir Ed Davey calls for tighter laws to rein in Elon Musk, warning the world’s richest man shouldn’t be able to ‘incite violence and racism’ or interfere in UK politics.

[Rosie Duffield MP @RosieDuffield1]

Women, leave Unison and join the @DarlingtonUnion!
As well as the sheer ignorance of this statement - complete misinterpretation of the law/guidance/code relating to workplaces (see @akuareindorf) - why would you still give your hard-earned £ to a union that centres a few men..?

'They’re hiding behind the spectre of lynch mobs in a desperate bid to avoid the criticism and dissent of ordinary people. It’s not going to work. Working-class anger won’t be tamed this time' - Brendan O'Neill in @spikedonline

@SamanthaNiblet4 @DrHoenderkamp @DrPamSpurr @LesleySemmens "Cis women" for crying out loud. Maybe you should listen to your Labour colleagues.

Totally fascinating clip. The 👀 that @Jonathan_Hinder gives Derbyshire, as she actively works to get him to describe ‘trans rights’ as a ‘middle class hobby horse’ - which would be quite a gotcha - followed by her disconcerted silence when he just says ‘men’ instead.

She knew exactly what he was thinking of, and he knew exactly what she was doing. But the work on renormalising natural language has paid off. A couple of years ago he would have had to say ‘trans’ in some form, or ‘gender’, to describe events. Now he can just say ‘men’ and the power of that language trickery drains away completely.

I have always been a #TransAlly 🏳️‍⚧️
Always will be.🏳️‍⚧️

-Correction on the 17 number: I was quoting a report from @amnesty stating between 2020 & 2025 there’ve been 17k stories on trans people across 4 main newspapers= 9 a day.

[Renée Hoenderkamp @DrHoenderkamp]

@SamanthaNiblet4 @DrPamSpurr @BarryStill2 @LesleySemmens Stop kidding yourself that women’s rights are not being eroded in every area under the guise of trans rights. Make your own space, your own language, your own sporting competitions, your own rights. Ours are not yours. https://t.co/Cn1CNi8JqM

[Lisa Mckenzie @redrumlisa]

Starmer doesn't know who we are or what is happening in the Country for the sake of all of us he needs to go very soon. He's causing more harm daily. He came in to Number 10 within a few weeks he's accusing the white working class as far right thugs and he's been doing it ever since. When he says 'far right thugs' its a dogwhistle.

Singles, listen up at 8:25 a.m. tomorrow...

Negotiating the first online contacts with that new person. And then when to message.

Discussing all that with @spencemacdonald on @HappyRadioUK

There's lots of cr*p when it comes to dating so BE prepared.

Thanks for the reply @SamanthaNiblet4 but MEN in dresses are taking our spaces, awards, dignity, privacy, etc., etc.
Rights that people like my mother fought for are trampled by these men. It's also a regressive homophobic misogynistic ideology.
There is no such thing as "trans", there are only people with mental health issues, trauma, abuse, internalised homophobia, on the spectrum, etc. They feel distress in their body for these different things (like having been s*xually abused). They look for an answer and "trans" ideology arrived in recent years to sell them a croc of lies. I'd actually love to discuss this with you if you would like to. I'm a lifelong Labour supporter and it kills me that so many in the party put men above women.

[Dr Pam Spurr Psychologist & Artist 🟢⚪🟣 @DrPamSpurr]

@BarryStill2 @LesleySemmens @DrHoenderkamp Honestly, I find @SamanthaNiblet4 absolutely offensive the way she treats women's rights like something to give away to any old bloke.
Thanks for flagging this @BarryStill2 😘😘

[Barry Still @BarryStill2]

@MarkJLittlewood @PatrickChristys @GBNEWS To be fair you were dapper but love the outrageous Wednesday shirts.

[Barry Still @BarryStill2]

Catching up on last night's @PatrickChristys show on @GBNEWS is it me or is @MarkJLittlewood dressed very boring last night. I hope there are other commentators will show up to cheer us all up.

[Tim Stanley @timothy_stanley]

Obviously I don’t want to feel angry about the death of a boy as that would make me the tool of the far-right, so it would be helpful if the Government could tell me how I should feel. Annoyed? Irritated? Mildly anxious?
