I don’t post here anymore because Musk is abusing this site and its algorithms for his fascist politics. Find me @SimonFRCox.bsky.social

For evidence of Musk’s abuse of this site see this piece on X's “Election Integrity Community” as an efficient incitement machine/bullshit/paranoia engine. And how this chaos is the return on Musk's $44 billion investment (gift link) https://t.co/uHswYxF14x

@DaveHatter thank you for your loud, strong statement against the KKK flyers!

@DrAllyLouks Congratulations, Dr Louks!

I can just about buy that the political left are routinely intolerant of differing views & can be harsh with people who dissent.

What I will NEVER accept is that the right are not ten times worse. Just try being pro-immigration, trans inclusion or anti-Islamophobic for a day.

Hey followers - if you haven’t moved to Bluesky yet, I really encourage you to try it. It’s MUCH better than Twitter and so many of the people you follow are already there.

I’m on https://t.co/3ajOXHwWBx

Here’s some tips if you make the move.

Hope to see you there.

I’ve left Twitter for Bluesky. Musk is using this site, its algorithms, to promote his fascist politics.

Remembering how my dad took the Times and Mirror, until Murdoch & Maxwell bought them and abused them.

TIL that in 2001, a UK Foreign Office minister showed he didn’t know of European Union citizenship, created 9 years previously.

Today, hundreds of us gathered in County Durham as a show of solidarity with the women inside Derwentside Immigration Removal and to call for an end to immigration detention.

We stand for dignity and freedom for all.

That's why These Walls Must Fall.

A fine example of thinking about the economy as something which only affects the environment, rather than something which is (increasingly!) affected by the environment.

The end result, incidentally, is far *worse* “financial facts” as costs skyrocket and markets collapse.

I spent 5 months investigating the role of a British accountant, a London broker and a Dubai-based British shipping magnate in at least 25 tankers bought for Lukoil’s Eiger Shipping, in an effort to lift the veil on Russia’s shadow fleet

A decision to cap crown court sitting days must be reversed if delays blighting trials are to be tackled, the @VictimsComm tells @TimesLaw. https://t.co/N7lB9d3FGX

This is actually very good on the face of it.
Serious & necessary reforms including removing scandalous lower earning limit on sick pay & banning exploitative zero hours contracts.

Still a lot of way to go, but a big win for all workers today #r4today https://t.co/G68N45Ha1q

I love this so much!!

Journalists are meant to speak truth to power. That's our job. But what do you do when that power is your own news org?

This thread (professional suicide note?) is about @guardian & @ObserverUK's future. Because it turns out you can’t believe everything you read on a poster..

most useful thing about returning to this incoherent fabulist, is the reminder that so few of those who empowered him have apologised to the rest of us
