Two veteran US Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists watched the BBC Panorama that led to the decapitation of its two leading executives. Their verdicts may surprise you …. https://t.co/ImEqfBkzTh
Has social media fundamentally changed how we discuss ideas in the 21st century?
Michael Gove and Tom McTague, editors of the Spectator and New Statesman, discuss whether the 'sentiment of the majority' is compatible with democracy.

One of the biggest threats to our democracy is our growing inability to disagree civilly, driven by algorithms that reward hostility.
As Kirsty’s experience shows, this is driving good people (especially women) away from public life. We must change that.

Richard Branson has just published an absolutely remarkable post about how the United States, in an utterly deceitful and hypocritical manner, is ignoring the obligations it made to Ukraine back in 1994.
Liberal Democrats want to turbocharge our economy by forming a Customs Union with the EU, tearing down the trade barriers and red tape holding us back.

On #WorldFoodDay, APPG Member @malcolmbruce speaks in the debate on starvation as a weapon of war, about how hunger is being used as a deliberate tactic in conflict.
I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.
As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.
Ed Davey feeling empathy towards a fellow parent of a disabled child does not call for Labour deputy leader's immediate resignation. Big respect to the Liberal Democrat leader.
"Responding to Angela Rayner’s statement on her tax affairs, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:
'I understand it is normally the role of opposition leaders to jump up and down and call for resignations – as we’ve seen plenty of that from the Conservatives already.
'Obviously if the ethics advisor says Angela Rayner has broken the rules, her position may well become untenable.
'But as a parent of a disabled child, I know the thing my wife and I worry most about is our son’s care after we have gone, so I can completely understand and trust that the Deputy Prime Minister was thinking about the same thing here.
'Perhaps now is a good time to talk about how we look after disabled people and how we can build a more caring country.'”
"The rank hypocrisy of Nigel Farage pretending to speak about free speech, when in reality, his own party is banning journalists from reporting."
