Me and my bestie @helenpidd wrote about the joy of female friendship, singing Total Eclipse of the Heart in the Birdcage and joys and regrets on both sides of the motherhood divide >> theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…

so @TrevorPTweets asks @darrenpjones if Nigel Farage should be intermediary between London & Washington:
“my advice to Mr Farage would be he might want to concentrate his efforts on the constituents in Clacton that elected him to office as opposed to spending his time in USA”

Not to shit on anyone's expectation management operation, but I'm the only person who can see the results whilst the survey is open and I haven't checked them yet.

"The Final Solution was not a mistake" says this video claiming our doctors knowingly carried out genocide during Covid. The source posted by @thecoastguy is a Russian Telegram channel full of Holocaust denial and antisemitic material. Even @GBNEWS has its limits, you'd think.

Really insightful, beautifully balanced, highly personal piece from the brilliant @anandMenon1. Will resonate with a lot of Brits with an ethnic minority heritage. Today's must-read. tortoisemedia.com/2024/10/04…

I am very sorry to have to say it, but that speech of Robert Jenrick's was lazy, mendacious, simplistic tripe.

A @GBNEWS presenter - no prizes for guessing who - celebrating normalisation of Holocaust denial as evidence their side is winning. The "facts about WW2" mentioned are that Churchill was the "real villain" of the conflict and the Holocaust was essentially a catering accident.

Good thread on patterns of misinformation and disinformation that have added to the horrors in Southport. Note the prominence of a current @GBNews presenter. And @Artemisfornow - a prominent anti-vax disinformation account supported by several of its presenters.
🧵1/ Thread on the #Southport anti-migrant and anti-Muslim disinformation and propaganda. In this thread I highlight key spreaders of disinformation, the chronology, and some points about some of the inauthentic activity evident. I will focus on X.

The organiser of a vigil to support the victims of the Southport atrocity has just confronted a group who have brought two St George’s flags (and a crate of cider). One of the men said they believed it was a terrorist attack.

The Professor continues to radicalise tweet by tweet, throughout this Sunday. He is now claiming that fireworks celebrating the Hamas atrocity in Israel could be heard across these areas of North London on October 7th. This is far right propaganda and myth-making.

BREAKING: The UK is restoring funding for UNRWA, David Lammy announces. Interesting first big move on Gaza from him as foreign secretary.

The "guidance" was developed by The Key, a private company. It is not official guidance, and has nothing to do with government policy.
(It was set up as a funded DfE pilot in 2007, but the project was cancelled in 2008 and it continued as a private firm.)
Also, the "guidance" was written and published...in 2022, under the Conservative government.
More Madness.
Just over a week since Labour took over and its prisoners being released, more illegal migration, energy industry decimated and now this madness.
Only @reformparty_uk will fight to remove these lunatics from power.
