X has seen a decent decline in UK users, but still too many people still on there…
More evidence, if it were needed, that the X algorithm is having political consequences - skewing content and shifting people's attitudes to the right. If you are still on the platform, and using the algorithmic feed, then you are being manipulated by Elon Musk. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It’s almost a year since we learned that Farage’s girlfriend had nearly a mill Swilling around in cash to buy a house in Frinton.
In all that time not one super sleuth has found out how she had all that money.
I find that suspicious. Still.

Nigel Farage lashes out at a FT journalist and refuses to answer the question.

Hungary, please please please reject Orban in April!
Worth noting that the only two European capitals on Rubio’s post-Munich tour were Budapest and Bratislava. Orbán and Fico. This is the NSS in action: “cultivating resistance within European nations”. And it’s probably just the beginning.

Experts say we are on the front line of an information war. While they use digital weapons, our response is still analogue. This is an urgent national security threat.

We still talk about Starmer's speech that used a different phase to Powell, and had a very different meaning.
Strangely we don't talk about Farage fully endorsing Powell's message, agreeing with the meaning, and claiming he wasn't a racist (I guess like with his school mates, 'there was no intent')
