This is not an image of a migrant mob storming a Birmingham hospital with axes and blades, as this tweet shared by Elon Musk claims. West Midlands police has confirmed the image is fake.

The inconsistencies and physical anomalies in the image indicate it's likely AI-generated.

Pretty disturbed by some of the Kremlin framing on the Trump talks being bought by parts of the media worldwide. It’s as if the genesis of the war is entirely forgotten. This isn’t a conflict which needs mediation. It was an unprovoked act of aggression. It could end tomorrow if Putin just withdrew.

The UK bond rate is back to where it was at the start of the year, yet the media’s coverage of its rise two weeks ago was absolutely wild. This shows us how Journos are rage-farming for clicks, spinning a non-issue into panic. Just another example of sensationalism over substance. #ukpolitics

Last year, we showed that 74% of accurate Community Notes debunking misleading claims about the US election on X weren’t being shown to users.

Yet, Mark Zuckerberg wants to copy Elon Musk’s flawed system.

New CCDH research shows that X's Community Notes are failing to counter misleading claims about the US election, despite Musk calling it the "best source of truth on the internet.”

Inspirational resilience and focus in the face of personal attacks that are hard to imagine.
Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.
