Oh look, the person in charge of regulating social media has chosen not to regulate social media 🤷‍♂️

Is Lisa Nandy quitting Twitter instead of regulating to fix Twitter, incompetentence, cowardice, or both?

The transphobic hate on TalkTV is dangerous, misinformed, and completely breaches the broadcasting code.

But Ofcom has done nothing. So we’re taking Ofcom to court to force them to do their job.

Here’s a funny thing.

I’ve just found a tweet from Jan 2020 asking what quid pro quo was for these peerages?

In Part 2 of our series #HarborneReceipts Rupert Lowe alleges Tories offered them to Farage as part of a deal.

Farage said he turned the deal down.

But did he?

Labour accuses Richard Tice of ‘slinging mud’ as Reform UK deputy hits back at attack on his tax affairs – UK politics live
Labour chair Anna Turley says ‘Tice is taking the public for fools’ and ‘needs to come clean’ Keir Starmer is speaking at his press conference. The war is entering its third week, he says. First, we will protect our people in the region. Second, while taking the necessary action to defend ourselves and our allies, we will not be drawn into the wider war. Moments like this also tell you about leadership … Now, there are others who would have made a different decision two weeks ago. They would have rushed the UK headlong into this war without the full picture of what they were sending our forces into and without a plan to get us out. It is no surprise that our closest and most important ally is so disappointed. The Labour government’s response to the crisis in Iran has been shameful. We should have been supporting our allies, not making it harder for them. Even now Starmer is still trying to sit on the fence, which is a complete failure of leadership. Continue reading...

Donald Trump has warned NATO allies they face a "very bad future" if they refuse to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, pressing Europe to support an American effort to reopen the key maritime corridor.
Trump warns NATO (again) of ‘very bad future’ if allies don’t secure Strait of Hormuz
