Liz Truss threatens to sue Keir Starmer unless he "ceases and desists" from alleging she crashed the economy.
In other news, here's Liz Truss making the exact same allegation against Gordon Brown

Twitter wasn’t built in a day. But now that there is a reasonable sized community here at BlueSky, the next step is to convince freelance and news media to report and post here. Preferably here first.
-And also engage international communities and reporting here.

It's clear now that social media is a failure. There is very little "Social" about it.
We need to remove ourselves from this bullshit game played by billionaires with nefarious agendas for us.
This place had hope, but it doesn't have the traction on a global scale to make it meaningful.
