Last month a post on Sureena Brackenridge MP’s social media accounts told the story of a nurse called Maya, and her struggle to find affordable housing.

But Maya doesn’t really exist, and an image accompanying the posts appears to be made with AI.

Good luck to Everton fan @Sophecc19 and @englandcricket in the T20 World Cup Final at Lord's this afternoon. 🏏

Bring it home! 💙

@narindertweets But they give you a wonderful opportunity to engage in ourtrage farming.

I’d be interested to read an article about how Amnesty went from fighting for freedom and human rights to campaigning for censorship.

@RhonddaBryant You might want to think again, or even better gain some real world experience. To suggest that hiking up taxes on businesses has no effect on investment and employment might make sense in your head but bears little relationship to reality. Get a proper job.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Absolutely nobody on earth is more petulant or self-involved than UK Labour politicians. They genuinely believe that the worst problem the world faces is that social media forces them to hear from their peasants who are angry with them, and they never stop whining about it.🇬🇧

@GrindItOut @afneil A gofundme page is needed, all proceeds to the labour Party, if Mr Burnham agrees to be interviewed by Mr Neil.

They’ve literally lifted work that has taken me months. I don’t get funding. I rely on Substack subscribers and donations from kind readers. Copycats really harm independent journalism.

This is how Polish fans reacted when Germany was knocked out of the Club World Cup.

@lewis_goodall @louderry How gullible are you ? He's cosplaying. Any fool knows that.

@David__Osland That's what happens when you spend other peoples money.

Farewell Ben Stokes. This game will forever be etched in our memory.

[Matthew Stadlen @MatthewStadlen]

Brilliant from @scyldberry in The Telegraph. Brings a tear to the eye. Great, great moments.

“In that World Cup final of the same year at Lord’s, Stokes dragged England towards and over the line. Neither Botham nor Flintoff could claim anything like such similar glory in limited-overs cricket, if only because their opportunities were fewer.

“But Stokes’s legacy will always be that moment at Headingley, when Jack Leach was his faithful partner, and Pat Cummins fired in another ball, and Stokes smote it as hard as any cricket ball has ever been hit, and roared, and celebrated, and hugged his partner. Posterity might choose the culmination of Stokes’s unbeaten innings of 135 as the moment that gave more people joy than any other in the history of this sport.”

[Quentin Letts @thequentinletts]

Bloody depressing about Stokes retirement. Looks as if the drudges and puritans of cricket management have won.

@DPJHodges Happy now are we?

[Historic Cricket Pictures @PictureSporting]

The ECB has played a part in this with its shabby handling of recent events. We lose Ben Stokes, a superb captain and allrounder, and get left with Rob Key. Superb.

[TheSimonEvansX @TheSimonEvansX]

At 61 I am still going through the process of reassessing the men and women I had been happy to accept at the estimation of the satirists of their later years.

What is the word for “humiliating”, but in a good way?

[Nick Carrington @NTMCarrington]

@piersmorgan @JofraArcher Speed's down. Could be better.

[Nick Carrington @NTMCarrington]

@DPJHodges He's batting the way Duckett should bat. Not dissimilar to the way that you practice your craft
