Are you paying attention @RichardDawkins ?

[Seth Andrews @SethAndrewsTTA]

This gives me no pleasure, but given Elon Musk's history, claims, and behaviors, I can't let Richard's "welfare of the world at heart" line pass without comment.

While watching Elon's rise to greater power (and the fawning of his fans), I started keeping notes. Thread (1)

🚨 Hugh Grant’s discusses the human cost of press abuse are a powerful reminder of why the Leveson Inquiry is needed to hold those responsible to account. Speaking about the victims, he names Abigail Witchalls, who was left a quadriplegic after a brutal stabbing. Her medical records were stolen and splashed across tabloids, compounding her family’s pain. Read more in the Byline Times article below: https://t.co/TOAKdpqE03

Grant highlights the Watson family, who lost their daughter in a playground murder, only for the press to cruelly suggest she deserved it. Their son, unable to cope, later took his own life. These are real families destroyed not just by tragedy but by callous, unrestrained press invasions.

As public trust in UK media crumbles, there’s renewed pressure on Keir Starmer to resurrect Leveson. Even the mother of Caroline Flack is urging him to “find the courage” to act. Exclusive polling shows people overwhelmingly want media reform. Starmer must listen. The time for accountability is long overdue. #Leveson2 #PressReform

Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing.

The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos.

[Hey, Dave! @davegreenidge57]

Here’s a video produced by “Led by Donkeys” out of the U.K. that puts down the timeline of how Musk used X to get Donald Trump elected. I would save it because I don’t think it will be up for long.

We've written to @KemiBadenoch to ask her and her party to lead by example after she made an inaccurate claim at this week's PMQs.

First tweet as Shadow Justice Secretary; gets community noted.

Meet Jason Hoganson.

Jason was jailed for hitting his ex-girlfriend. Keir Starmer let him out early.

Within hours of his release, the police got another call, saying he’d assaulted her yet again. Now he’s on the run.

Who could have seen that coming?

George Monbiot: “I’m not going to take lessons in climate from someone from Policy Exchange which is funded by the oil industry”

David Goodhart (Policy Exchange): “It isn’t”

GM: “I can demonstrate that it is”

DG: “Anyway, that’s not what we’re here to discuss”

Donald Trump's victory is a crushing defeat for the "global elite", says Trump-supporting Old Etonian, international hedge fund millionaire, and member of the landed gentry, Jacob Rees-Mogg

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

Once more, with feeling.
The BBC should not leave it to guests to reveal who funds the organisations the other guests work for. This is what its own editorial guidelines say.

The UK needs a Wealth Tax.

I want to see them crying about it every day, oh no my 60 properties, oh no my yacht, etc etc.

Tell me what you want, what you really, really want.

The British public seems to really, really want its essential services in public ownership.
