GB News now broadcasting calls to remove the ethnic minority MPs from parliament
We just finished watching House of Guinness on Netflix and loved it.
Any other recommendations for dark autumn nights on Netflix, BBC, or Channel 4, new or old? Love period things but doesn't have to be!
(And if you haven't seen it, check out House of Guinness!)

This is a "recommended" tweet pushed to a (very much not-Nazi) contact's iPhone lockscreen last week.
Who knows how many millions it was pushed to by Musk's platform, including in this case, in the UK?
It's now been deleted, but only after getting thousands of RTs.

These two are very different things with quite different consequences!
FWIW people are currently more likely to believe the moon landings were hoaxes staged by NASA than the claims on paracetamol. Though of course trajectory of debates could shape these figures.

Okay but 13% is incredibly and dangerously high...
🆕 The US debate about taking paracetamol in pregnancy does not appear to be shaping opinions here in the UK. Just 13% of Britons say they think it is either generally or completely unsafe to take paracetamol during pregnancy.

First I heard about it was when welders came home saying ‘there’s people painting white crosses on black people’s doors on our street’.
Fucking disgusting. That’s what it is. And that’s what politicians need to call it

Today people went around my neighborhood in north east London spray painting St George’s crosses onto people’s homes. Many of these houses have non British people living in them.
This is getting very dark, very quick.

If you work for a Reform council... Join your Union branch ASAP.
A council cannot bind its officers to carry out unlawful acts whether it passes a motion or not.
Officers will be fully within their rights to refuse to action this.
Reform councils are barrelling towards special measures at a rate of knots.
