This place feels like Twitter 2.0 and it's great to see so many accounts I followed over there, gradually start to come over to #BlueSky.

Some of the people in this article have shared their recollections with me before - but on condition of anonymity. Coming forward now is an act of patriotism. Farage’s claim that it never happened is the opposite.
(Note also the line about pronouncing his name.)

Here’s what you won’t hear from some commentators on social media: in the year to October, London recorded 10,000 fewer violent crimes leading to injury than it did in the twelve months before I was elected.

Elon Musk is deliberately using his platform to poison our politics and divide our country.

It's time for the government to wake up to the threat he poses to our democracy.

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain.

Nobody with any sense or decency should be there.

No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there.

Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.

We're facing a political emergency: a high likelihood of an shamelessly authoritarian government in 2029. So we urgently need this basic safeguard: a codified constitution.

It means breaking with hundreds of years of tradition, but it can’t wait. As hard-right figures spread division and laud autocrats, a fail-safe is vital, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The 6-year-old said he saw “snipers on the roof ready to shoot our cars.”

The 8-year-old said, “I saw soldiers and was so scared I started shaking.”

The 14-year-old said, “They put a gun to my face. Then they pointed it at my mom’s head and said they’d blow her head off.”

Everybody: please stop mentioning that Farage was regularly on Russia Today, a channel now banned for its Russian propaganda content, blamed the EU for Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2014, had a Russian spy running his Welsh operation, and built his whole career on a policy Putin supports.
Farage is doing a big media push to deny he has any links with Putin and Russia.

It’s obviously starting to hurt.

COVID19 mRNA vaccines may improve response to some cancer treatments.

It’s a shame that the Trump administration cut funding for mRNA vaccine research and that RFK Jr. and his minions keep lying about them.
mRNA covid vaccines spark immune response that may aid cancer survival
An analysis of patient records suggests that mRNA covid-19 vaccines boost the immune response to cancerous tumours when given soon after people start a type of immunotherapy, extending their lives

The major political parties, broadcasters, and institutions should all leave X.

It's an extremely dangerous disinformation machine, and staying there only legitimises it and the chaotic agenda of the richest man in the world.

The way Trump is received and treated is an insult to the decency and manners of a country that has always held these values in such high regard. And all this for a bully whom the world was warned about by his mother.
P.S. There is no honour in being an American citizen with a president like Trump.
