A time limited* window to fully delete (rather than hair delete) replies to our own posts.
This would kill the ability of bots/trolls to bombard with bad faith replies.
Bots/trolls would have to build their own audience, rather than leeching off others.

Went on LBC News earlier to discuss the BBC shambles.
I said the BBC has kowtowed to Trump in the US and conservative outlets here - both of which want the Beeb dead.
Two of the most senior people quit over a 10-second clip using Trump’s exact words, albeit put closer together than he’d like.

Share this with every single person who thinks that Rachel Reeves can use only a wealth tax to fill fiscal gaps. The Treasury would be unlikely to see a penny until 2029. In short, we cannot fund November's budget with a wealth tax.

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey slams Farage and Reform UK’s links to Russia and calls for an investigation into Russian interference in UK politics:
“The evidence shows Nathan Gill was a close confidant of the current Reform party leader for years.”
Starmer calls Reform UK “Putin-friendly” in response.

Labour taking more steps to improve protection for renters in 1.5 years than the Tories did in 15 years
The Renters' Rights Act entered into law this week.
This legislation will deliver major improvements for renters, including the end of no fault evictions.
The government must enact it ASAP.
Our next steps must focus on affordability and limiting rent increases.

Here's the Government announcement on the new law, in force from today, which allows councils and mayors in England to take control of bus services
Might sound niche but it could (hopefully positively) affect millions of travellers if local authorities make good use of it

Very silly, and dangerous, comments.
We have too many UK politicians dancing to Putin’s tune at the moment
Defence spending is vital for the UK (and Ukraine) and should not be presented as taking away from the poor.
We will all be much worse off if we can’t defend ourselves

There is always money for war, never for the poor.
Every penny spent on bombs, tanks and missiles is stolen from our homes, schools and hospitals.
We are not going to take it anymore.

a) it is wrong for U.K. arms companies to supply arms to Ukraine.
b) only U.K. arms companies benefit from a), completely ignoring Ukraine needing arms to defend itself.
