It has become increasingly clear that X - a platform now actively producing explicit and abusive material against women and children - is not an appropriate platform to be using for our comms.

I will keep pushing for action from the govt & relevant authorities in this area.

A new note on my child's Clacton nursery app today:

They're going to stop leaving free surplus food for parents in need (a mini food bank) by the door because there's a new fridge to keep things fresh for longer.

'Please take what you like but consider others, so that everyone who needs to can.'
Nigel Farage confirms that Reform UK will vote *against* the bill to lift the two child cap, keeping hundreds of thousands of children in poverty.

Need to be clear - she was not saying this as a way to argue against something urgent being done about Grok (it wasn’t ‘guns don’t kill ppl’). The tech that allowed this needs disabling. BUT the men who designed, trained and used the tech need to be held accountable for their actions, too.
Just heard an AI ethicist talk about how important it is that we say ‘MEN are using Grok to undress images of babies, children and women’ not ‘Grok is….’. Grok isn’t responsible for the action, the men enabling & using it for this repulsive purpose are. Small but important bit of linguistic accuracy

Streeting will always be a danger to the trans community, no matter how many times he says we deserve ’dignity and respect’.

40 years ago, on Tuesday, January 7, 1986, “West End girls” hit number one in the UK singles chart and stayed there for two weeks.
