I just wrote a quick post on FB to say that I would be moving my professional posts purely to BlueSky/Linkedin—and my post vanished.
Surprised? Not so much!
But it strongly reinforces my distaste for Meta, X and Tik-Tok.
I cannot understate this: US, oligarch-owned social media needs to die.

What happens when you elect a far-Right Government determined to blame immigrants for every single policy failure?
I thought this was a parody it's so bad, but no, this is straight from the Department of Homeland Security.
I'm surprised they haven't tried to use Homelander from The Boyz yet!

Social media isn't just a platform; it's a war zone. Bots, AI, & state actors are weaponising it to undermine democracy. The evidence is there from Meta to Musk. We must see the battlefield & break our dependency on toxic platforms.

A great breakdown of why "growth at all costs" is an insane idea.
Successive Governments have focused on growth alone because it catches headlines.
But GDP is an awful indicator as to the health of your economy.
Wealth distribution and the needs of the average person are ignored — for a metric.

🚨 Reform UK is in crisis. Again.
Just hours after a row over a proposed burqa ban, party chairman Zia Yusuf has quit. He says it’s no longer worth trying to get Reform elected.
If Farage’s own chairman has lost faith, why should voters back them?

Nigel Farage wants attention for *saying* he’d scrap the 2-child benefit cap. But in the vote against it, did he show up?
No. Zero Reform MPs voted against the cap in July.
Green MPs put it in our costed manifesto, signed the motion, and voted to scrap it. Actions not words.
