It's become normal now for high-level political figures to argue that an entire generation was brainwashed through fake videos into mass anti-Israel political mobilization by TikTok. Complete conspiracy thinking, rooted in zero evidence, based on nothing
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

Striking, how uninterested our permanent austerity discourse is in all of this stuff
Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

Yes, if you ignore your MPs they might e.g. hork up an absolutely ludicrous “whistleblowing” scandal by very obviously lying with a complicit BBC, then sue the party and accept an extremely dubious six figure payout, somehow while avoiding a police investigation and prison for fraud.

The immigration system is for securing territory & controlling the labour market.
The far right have convinced themselves it's for forced diversity & Great Replacement.

I note here that the police raided Nicola Sturgeon’s house live on national television because they thought her husband had spent party donations on a camper van
I feel it’s very irresponsible and inflammatory to accept donations from extremely partisan pro-Israel billionaires to help wreck your own party, then conceal them from the authorities while booting the pro-Palestine left for antisemitism, while you facilitate the genocide of the Palestinian people.

Let's be clear. This is nothing. Demonstrations with thousands or even tens of thousands are frequently entirely ignored. That the BBC chooses to put this on the front page of their news website is a political decision as to what positions to push.
