[Anna Soubry 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇦🇪🇺🖤🤍 @Anna_Soubry]

The numbers of thugs is small but the media coverage is disproportionately huge. Attention should turn on those who incite this violence with their divisive, inaccurate, hate filled politics - in particular Members of Parliament.
Hold them to account!

Exclusive: Convicted neo-Nazi terrorist Matthew Hankinson, who was jailed for six years for his membership of the proscribed neo-Nazi youth group National Action, was one of the far-right activists who travelled to Southport on Tuesday night.

Every so often @JohnJCrace is deadly serious, with deadly effect.

This - on the way in which @Nigel_Farage baselessly & despicably incited hatred - is outstanding. https://t.co/YlvVIkJPFd

LeeAnderthal must be disciplined/prosecuted for this!

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

What a disgrace!

An MP actively targeting NHS nurses trying to enjoy a break from their hectic jobs.

This vile racism has no place in Britain. @LeeAndersonMP_ should be ashamed of himself.

Huge love to all my Internationally educated + global majority nurse colleagues! 💙

[Stuart Stevens @stuartpstevens]

Let's be clear: An American presidential nominee is running a campaign challenging the racial/ethnic purity of his opponent based upon the racial/ethnic definition of her parents.

This is exactly what became normalized in 1930s Germany under the Nuremberg Laws requiring racial/ethnic classification of parents.

Perhaps the Trump campaign can produce a chart that will clarify exactly how much "blood" is required to claim Black or Indian or Caucasian identity.

[The Intellectualist @highbrow_nobrow]

Trump attempted to use Evan Gershkovich, the American journalist recently freed after being falsely imprisoned in Russia, as leverage for his re-election campaign. However, President Biden has denied him that opportunity.

This begs the question whether the task cited really constitutes “the practice of the law” in the first place 🤔

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

Generative AI could radically alter the practice of law. If it can do in 20 seconds a task that would have taken a dozen associates 50 hours each, then why would big legal firms continue hiring dozens of associates? https://t.co/Qaq4ivcLJy 👇

[SE Ranking @SERanking]

After the rollout, ads at the top of the SERP increased significantly (from 23.19% to 48.58%). This could indicate that Google strives to preserve its earnings from ads. But this puts organic results lower on the results page, decreasing the chances of users clicking on them.

Everyone @MerPolDogs_ Would like to say a massive thank you to the #Southport community and our friends at Carla Lane Animals in Need for donating kind gifts for all of our dogs that were involved in the disorder overnight.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Ahahaha.

Russia just released journalist Gershkovich — which Trump said Putin would only did if he wins the election:

“Vladimir Putin…Will do that for me, and I don't believe he'll do it for anyone else”

Thank you President Biden!!

"The Mountain Dew jokes, the awkward campaign videos — it doesn’t connect. He’s the least popular VP pick ever. He got the least bump from the nod, and I was there for Dan Quayle, for God’s sake." https://t.co/fvxrgGcEDX
