On almost everything – fraud, polarisation, radicalisation, misinformation – evidence suggests that over 60s are in much more urgent need of online protection and education than teenagers.
But that issue gets zero political attention, and is a total non-starter. Nothing good will come of it.

This was a minor story on London news this morning - but suspect is a real cautionary (and alarming) tale of an older man getting radicalised online.

Media need to stop selling this false dichotomy too
Any political “leader” still selling the obviously false choice between #ClimateAction and “the economy” is just reminding us that they clearly don’t understand either the climate crisis OR the economy.
Or they’re cynically hope that WE don’t understand the difference.
Or both.

The Home Secretary should not be making false statements about human rights watchdogs

Hmmmm. "The Home Secretary has said it is unacceptable for a European human rights watchdog to “question the validity” of the Supreme Court ruling".
Except the Commissioner didn't question the "validity" of the Supreme Court ruling, he questioned its fairness.

Condemn the attacker. Condemn anti-semitism. Condemn terrorism. Do not FFS try and use the actions of an individual, as hideous and contemptible as they clearly are, to fuel hate against others. You can condemn utterly abhorrent actions without stoking violence against other innocent people.

Just received news that 27 people have been arrested in Parliament Square under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action".

TRUTH: Multi-modal cities aren’t about forcing anyone out of their cars. But they ARE about tackling car DEPENDENCY by adding MORE CHOICES (for you Americans, more freedom) in how u get around, which works better for everyone, INCLUDING DRIVERS!
