A few things happening at once that people should connect.
Russia is now linked to the arson attacks on the Prime Minister's house and car last year. Shocker.
And we all saw what happened the moment that story broke. Our feeds flooded with a different story about who the men were and why they did it.
That's the operation. The arson is one half. The disinformation campaign is the other.
Flood the zone, muddy the water, get the country shouting at itself instead of asking who is behind it.
And at the same time, a chunk of the accounts pushing Scottish independence on X went dark the night Israel hit Iran's nuclear sites.
Ask yourself why. Why would hostile states be interested in sowing division across the country?
This is exactly what I mean when I say defence is the thread underneath everything now.
Again, it isn't tanks on a border. It's an arson attack on the PM's front door and state-sponsored disinformation campaigns in the replies. It's the argument about breaking up our country being run out of Tehran.
This is why resilience matters. And it's bigger than just factchecking a tweet. It's energy we can rely on. Industry we actually own. Institutions that are rock solid. Communities that don't split and fracture the moment someone pushes them. A country that is built to take a punch.
That's the job now.
@AlistairCarns@cymbal_martin Moving in the right direction for sure, but the ROSCOs really need to be taken into public ownership too. The fact that the taxpayer is now renting trains from banking conglomerates is something that needs to end swiftly.
@10DowningStreet Moving in the right direction, but PLEASE nationalise the ROSCOs. They'll still be making obscene amounts of profit, only from taxpayer cash now.

But the image isn’t from yesterday… it’s from Shakira’s free concert at Copacabana Beach in Brazil on May 2nd.

Don’t be fooled by AI and check your sources
Know this. Whatever the bullshit he & his supporters out Tommy Robinson right now will be licking his wounded ego. Because no hyperbole, exaggeration or AI can shield him from the truth. His march was a huge flop.
This is it in full.
Huge support for Starmer has become palpable.
UK has rediscovered what it really wants most is stability.
The 'bastards' have seen this and it has panicked them.
Thats why they've panicked into 'now or never'.

He bought a house in Clacton.
No, actually, his girlfriend bought it.
I barely even knew him.
No, actually, I knew him very well.
The money was for my security.
No, actually it was a gift for Brexit.
Literally nothing Farage says is true.
The BBC refuse to hold scammer Farage to account. MPs are meant to declare ALL gifts over £300 in the calendar year leading up to their election.
I refuse to look away. Repost if you feel the same.
Rayner has been cleared, but the media ran 30 front pages in total, averaging 4 front pages a day during the peak of the story.
Farage's £5 million gift has had two front page stories.
Why would there be such a difference in reporting standards for the two?
Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks...
HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless.
Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it
So where's the wall-to-wall coverage?
Tell me this isn't a rigged game.
