I wonder if this guy is related to "Boris Johnson" who introduced "voter id" as Prime Minister in 2023 ... off the back of some crazy US conspiracy theories ... and in the process, made digital ID pretty much inevitable.

remarkable to me that far from seeming cool or masculine zuck seems like an even bigger loser — the kind of nerd who preemptively gives his lunch money to the bully and thanks him for the opportunity

So, the Tory manifesto did not include an inquiry into grooming gangs and the Tories ignored ALL recommendations from the 2022 report, but they attack Starmer for smearing “those concerned” as “far right”. Which he didn’t.
They’re just the most repulsive bunch of arseholes.
And far right apologists.

I’m a straightforward kind of chap. I make no pretences to be anything that I’m not. I know my limitations… but I have also come to understand where my strengths lie.
I’ve learned to stand tall with the best of people… and l’ve learned to stand up for the less fortunate.
That’ll do me.

We need an urgent inquiry in the UK into foreign interference in our politics & media.
…one which needs to advise rules for Parliament to enact before the next General Election hits.

No, Nigel Farage.
We emphatically do not talk about this at home.
You will not import your authoritarian christofascist Trump-style threats into our political debate.
Can’t tell you quite how far you’ll be told to fuck off if you try.
