I think we shouldn't allow people like Musk to get away with making censorship impossible: it's only necessary when people like him misuse the freedoms we've all got to spread harmful material. The bar should be very high, but it's a necessary tool of last resort *because* of people like Musk.

Anywhere south of Liverpool is basically France, everyone knows that.
Where do people say they live in the South?
While often grouped as part of the South of England, only 33-35% of people in Norfolk and northern Cambridgeshire consider themselves to live in the region, as do just 53% of people in Suffolk

If a Pakistani Muslim owned X, distributed indecent images of girls on a platform where govt do their PR, where some receive payments for posts, they would have distanced themselves by now. X would be shutdown and Braverman and Farage would be calling for a ban and investigation into Pakistani men.

I started the year in quite a good place, I had a really great Christmas. We've lifted the 2 child cap, I'll give Keir the benefit of the doubt,I thought, let him get to 2 years, new PM for Conference. Still loads of time. Every day since we've shot ourselves in the foot, please someone do something
When you are the incumbent government, your re-election strategy is downstream of your governing record, which is what you should be preoccupied with now.

If a new app was produced which had, as its core features, the generation of sexual deep fake images of children and calls for a violent global far-right revolution, then not only would it be swiftly banned, but you wouldn't have a single mainstream politician willing to associate themselves with it

If you are a member of @labour4europe.bsky.social you have until 14th January to vote in the election for national chair. In last two years we have achieved so much - and in the next it is crucial we do even more to repair our relationship with Europe so broken by Brexit. I ask for your support.

Wearing 'National Health' glasses as a child was one of the biggest signs that you were poor and literally everyone you knew always mentioned it. (not in a nice way)
