Elon Musk is deliberately using his platform to poison our politics and divide our country.
It's time for the government to wake up to the threat he poses to our democracy.

For as many years as anyone been counting two or more inmates been mistakenly released from British prisons most weeks. Record does not make it acceptable. System needs to be fixed. It does leave me asking why BBC now gripped by end-of-civilisation hysteria heard on Radio 4 Today programme.

Something that is never factored into the published cost of nuclear energy, a near century long clean up. We pay for this. Current bill, £120 billion and climbing. Sizewell C will be just more of the same. Expensive power and a toxic legacy for thousands of years.

It took us UNDER TWO MINUTES to sum up the framework within which the Jimmy Kimmel suspension sits, and begin the conversation *with what he actually said*.

If, say, Louis Farrakhan was brutally murdered, I hope we would all condemn the murder.
But I am pretty sure Republicans wouldn’t be celebrating his life and legacy and insisting no one criticize anything he ever said or did.
