For all its faults, today is a reminder of how fortunate we are to live in a stable democracy with candidates representing a wide range of diverse views standing for election.
Did not appreciate that for many years but recent global events have brought that home forcibly.

Musk has now threatened the leaders of Canada,Brazil, Germany. X helped create a riot in the UK. Now it seems he doesn't want the UK to make its own legal decisions. Time to act?
"He asked why British far-right figurehead Tommy Robinson had been imprisoned at all. Musk also approvingly shared Robinson’s documentary to his more than 200 million followers"

Musk's interventions should be taken seriously. The ideological leanings of oligarchical media barons can affect us all.
Elon Musk brands UK a ‘tyrannical police state’
X owner shares a petition demanding a UK general election and boosts a far-right activist.
