That’s exactly it
Whereas the influence of newspaper barons like Murdoch was 'in the shadows', through the back door of Downing St & splashed across front pages, the tech media age of Musk allows the algorithm to get directly into people's heads, activating emotional trigger points in a more targeted, insidious way.

Starmer has a huge opportunity.
The UK must be a beacon of democracy, evidence led policy, rule of law, science, reliable news, toleration and moderation in a world of extremes. It’s his for the taking.

Dear BlueSkyers. Sadly I'm getting many reports of scammers pretending to be me here, incl messaging people with 'investments' . Pls share/help me spread word that, as you know, THIS IS MY ONLY BLUE SKY account (proved as my handle is an official MoneySavingExpert one). All others are scams

Although nothing Kemi Badenoch has done since has helped herself, the Conservatives have been on the back foot on this topic from the moment they *kicked off* by asking the government to publish data that it had, in fact, already published:
Elon Musk and the red lines of rightwing politics
Tory calls for new national probe into child rape gangs — that it did not make in government — expose opposition anxieties

Again- Musk’s X posts are so deranged that everyone should be writing to their MPs
…expressing concern that Musk is engaged in a disinformation campaign against the UK government - attempting to foment civil unrest in the UK and endanger the safety of politicians.

Now it’s dark, you should be able to spot faint Saturn to the left of the Moon and Venus.
Jupiter is hanging brightly in the south followed by the bright red planet Mars in the East.

Interesting new water hazard at Grange over Sands Golf course today.....
Even though the course is unplayable, rumour has it that Donald Trump was there this morning and still managed to beat the course record. What a guy 👀😂
Apparently there is no evidence that he lost 46 balls during the round 🤣
