Six weeks since the PM said Britain faced a choice between decency or division and our bad, obviously, for not understanding that he was in fact Team Division

This is crazy. No idea how we stop this.
I've just been called a "rape enabler" by the X AI tool Grok. This is a shocking allegation which has totally taken me aback & beyond anything I've ever encountered in normal political discourse. These AI tools are supposed to be there to serve us honestly with facts. Disturbing.

It should inspire those engaged in similar struggles around the world - and remind those of us lucky enough to live in America that we have a solemn responsibility to constantly preserve and defend our own hard-won democratic traditions.

This. So bored of football.
I've overheard enough conversations now to confidently state that half the blokes out there aren't into football, they just say they support a team to fit in. As soon as the questions start, they stutter, mumble and fold. Just have the balls to say "I don't like football"

The Westminster system made people poorer with austerity and Brexit - and now it’s trying to distract from those failures by scapegoating people who have been through unimaginable hardship.
It is pathetic, it is cowardly and I will have no part in it.

I was standing ten yards away when this happened, and while I totally get Starmer's instinctive reaction, the optics are a bit unfortunate.
