Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

PMQs verdict: Kemi Badenoch cannot escape the Conservative catch-22 - Politics.co.uk
