Twitter (in days of yore) punched well above its weight as a social network because it became the default platform for journalists; which, in turn, made it the default platform for politicians.
Both must now abandon it for the platform to die, as it deserves.

EXCLUSIVE: Leaked WhatsApp messages show Labour MPs urging govt to leave X, arguing that it should "show direction to others in the UK"
The MPs said X owner Elon Musk is "fascist" and that the platform's AI tool, Grok, had put "children in harm's way"

It's amusing how Labour and their supporters like John are now so aware they're totally screwed that they are crying "a leader of an opposition party won't agree to work with us" and framing it like it's some kind of hostile takeover of the Labour party.
Not sure why John has made up that I have a "first preference."
In fact I've repeatedly said - including to the Independent - it's not my role to pick the future Labour leader.
I'm focused on growing the Green Party.
Not convinced people should be allowed to make things up and publish them....

The UK government cannot claim to protect women and children while continuing to post on a platform that enables their abuse.
