🚨 WATCH: David Lammy says the UK cannot go back to "1950s Britain" where his dad arrived to signs saying "no blacks, no dogs, no Irish"
"We're acting to tackle those inciting hatred online"
Victoria Derbyshire, "Elon Musk had already hit out, calling the UK a police state"
"Adding, the real goal is to enable the UK government to track everyone"

9. Location data (GPS if permitted, IP-based location, Wi-Fi/network information)
10. Contact uploads (if you grant access)
11. Email address and phone number
12. Payment information (for paid services)
13. Cross-device matching (linking your phone, tablet, and computer to the same user)
14. Embedded X posts on third-party websites
15. X Pixel tracking on external websites
16. Websites using X advertising or conversion tools
17. Apps using X SDKs or integrations
18. Login with X integrations on third-party sites
19. Ad interactions and conversions
20. Inferred interests and behavioural profiling
21. Social graph analysis (who you follow, interact with, and are connected to)
22. Content analysis of posts, messages, and media
23. Network and connection information (mobile carrier, ISP, network type)
24. Diagnostic and crash reports from the app
25. Approximate location derived from activity patterns
26. Data obtained from advertising partners and data providers
27. Engagement with videos (watch time, rewatches, completion rates)

30. Account recovery and security information
@British_Airways You totally miss the point. No communication was made about this and initially no refund offered. You're simply causing grief for your passengers and your customer service team
@British_Airways extra leg room seats booked in Feb for June flight. Discovered these are no longer available but no notice or alternative offered? Apalling service
Black men have a much higher risk of getting prostate cancer. It's unwise to test white men at the same rate due to false positives leading to overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment. Could you please, for one fucking day, give it a rest?
Our Makerfield candidate Robert Kenyon setting a new bar for how embarrassingly shit someone can be in an interview. Can't wait to see him on Question Time...
Over the last 36 hours, we have witnessed the very soul of Nigel Farage — his essence.
It has been over a month since he went into hiding, since serious questions began to be raised over his undeclared £5M donation.
A month since he appeared in front of TV cameras or underwent any questioning at all.
At 8am yesterday morning, Farage released a video, from a field somewhere, calling for rage. Calling for an end to the mythical two-tier policing.
Make no mistake, those were very carefully chosen words — he understood what he was unleashing, and his wish was granted last night in Southampton.
On Tuesday, the Home Secretary made a statement to the House regarding the murder of Henry Nowack. There was, as always, an opportunity to question Shabana Mahmood — was Nigel Farage in attendance?
No, of course not.
Today, Farage was granted a question at PMQs — the showpiece spectacle of the political week in which the country's news and politics fanatics tune in to watch — was Nigel Farage in attendance?
Yes, of course he was.
He had somehow found his way into work after missing 77 separate votes in Parliament because … he would, at least for three minutes, be the centre of the country's political attention.
His question was about the murder of Henry Nowack and the violence that erupted [on his command] last night, but he would not condemn it or call for calm.
Instead, he 'suggested' that this rioting might escalate.
This afternoon, he has performatively written to the BBC because someone on Newsnight dared to accuse him of inciting the violence — playing his perpetual victim card. Again.
And there we see the soul of Nigel Farage — a craven, desperate for attention, evil, petty and pointless man.
END RANT.
I managed to stand in the middle of a field to do an attention-seeking ‘announcement’ to nobody about the Henry Nowak murder, but I couldn’t be arsed to turn up to hear the Home Secretary’s statement in Parliament, which is my actual job.
This morning the Govt won a court case meaning the UK won’t have to pay over £100M to Rwanda to clean up the mess left by the Tories.
But sod discussing that, let’s just have yet another day of #PoliticsLive speculating on the Labour leadership.
If there’s one thing we can learn from the tragic case of Henry Nowak, it’s that certain people will cynically use any situation as an opportunity to make it all about them, stir up hatred and division and distract attention from their own wrongdoing. Mention no names.
Not a parliamentarian.
Not a member of the Shadow Cabinet.
And certainly not the Shadow Home Secretary.
Also missed “Ltd” off the end of Reform UK.
This is just not true, @ZiaYusufUK
Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
