Elon Musk has been backing neo-Nazi parties around the world, interfering in elections and using his massive platform to attack anyone who doesn’t share his extreme right-wing views.

Not again! I have NOT given my permission to be used in political adverts. This is NOT an endorsement by me in any way. I maintain strict party neutrality and am unhappy at the weaponizing of my reputation in this way.

While this isn't as bad as the first terrible representation – which said it this about tax - there's still a misdirection. As I’ve already stated, in that private conversation I was referring to Labour hoping to make a positive change I’ve been campaigning for, but it didn’t want to lock it in the manifesto as it can’t promise to deliver.

NO party’s manifesto tells the full story. ALL parties have things they hope to do but that aren’t in manifestos – as they can’t guarantee to deliver. The idea that Labour is an outlier for that is preposterous.

This is an incredible piece of work by @JonathanPieNews.

From the research, to the sequencing, to the performance.

You want to know why so many people are turning away from vapid MSM and looking to political comedy & alternative news? Look no further. 👇

"The way to improve cancer outcomes is to invest in more staff and diagnostic equipment, not get rid of targets. I'm worried for my patients" @DrAmirKhanGP

Targets have been missed since 2015 because of underfunding and understaffing of the NHS by the Conservative party

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

Some still writing things like 'people still splurging amid mortgage crisis' as an argument that things aren't so bad. Yet of course that's happening - we have a split society.

From a consumer perspective the mortgage crisis disproportionately falls on relatively few shoulders.

Roughly 1/3 of the population has mortgage, a third rent, and a third owns their house outright.

Of the third with a mortgage, many are still on long-term fixes. This means the bank of England's deliberate policy to increase the cost of borrowing in order to squeeze disposable incomes, and take money out of the economy, is only really very directly hitting likely under 20% of the population. So their incomes need to be really squeezed in order for it to work.

Of course there's also a squeeze on renters where costs are rocketing, some of it an indirect and painful knock on from the mortgage rate hikes, but also from the other big inflations in energy and food prices.

That's one part of our polarized society. The other includes those who own outright, some of whom will have gained from the £150 billion pounds of extra savings that built up during the pandemic. And while there's some hit there due to energy and other inflation, it will be offset by benefitting from interest rates going up, as savers get more income.

So the idea that the mortgage squeeze means pan society everybody stops spending is nonsense. What we're actually doing is trying to fix the whole economy by making a disproportionate squeeze on a relatively limited number of people.

Of course interest rate rises impact business too. Yet that's not my bag.

@alicepelton Progress is not comparing against other health issues

[hilarynathan @hilarynathan01]

Last week the @Telegraph published a health feature (in link)which @JDRFUK felt was misleading & contained inaccuracies. We contacted the journalist but did not get a reply. We then wrote the letter to below which was published in the @Telegraph today .
