Here’s the problem, generalisation, not factual, and it continues to be spat out as if it is !
Whately (Tory) walks onto #BBCLauraK and is instantly crash-landing: whines about Motability (which Tories expanded), admits she’s got no idea how many people use it, gets schooled by Kuenssberg that it’s 1.1m not “millions,” then squeaks, “I was making a general point.” Absolute Tory clown parade.

Why do I call Tories scum? Badenoch suddenly pretends survivors were let down, while Johnson threw a tantrum over police digging into historic abuse. The Tories are a party that pissed away 14 years of investigation while victims begged for truth and justice. #ukpolitics

Nigel Farage used an LBC appearance in September to accuse the Bank of England of being “dinosaurs” for seeking to place restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether.
He did not declare that Reform had just received a £9 million donation from one of its biggest investors

Can’t remember budget ‘case studies’ ever being quite so funny. Especially in newspapers that recently anointed Liz Truss a fiscal genius.
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

Important not to overlook the fact that this bilge is amplified & disseminated by many prominent - and very real - racists who benefit financially, professionally & politically from the process.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
