Grok claimed this account was a passenger, then claimed the source was a video posted by Paul Golding of Britain First

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Underrated Tweet! What about Dickens, do you give American Notes a hard pass? Quentin Crisp? James Wood?

How did the misreporting happen in the first place? What steps will news editors and management at the Mail, Telegraph and Times - the last two expensively pay-walled operations - take to nip this kind of retailing of lies in the bud?

After a week of faffing around the @dailymail.co.uk have agreed to apologise. Here it is. Fingers crossed for fewer lies/smears dressed up as news in future

So are Nick Robinson and the BBC collectively not doing their job by failing to push back on this view (even in context of a show like Political Thinking)? Is there a gap of understanding in how the domestic BBC discusses the politics of Palestine + Israel?

Ironic that the @royalsociety.org was founded exactly in the year of the Restoration. What would Wren and Boyle make of this Digger and Ranter?

Black British % of population of Philp’s Croydon South constituency from 2021 census (approx up to the word “Croydon” on the map). Does he routinely categorise all his black British constituents as ‘migrants’?

Are Big C Conservatives who are uncomfortable with the lens of race being too prominently applied on aspects of society, or who are preoccupied with anti-white or eg black on black racism, positively engaging with this or are they too cussed?

New post just out:

"Never again?"

On how the radical right are trying to change our collective memory about World War Two as part of their assault on the postwar order.

And why that memory remains a critical defence against nationalism.

Anyway both got more votes than either candidate in the 2024 Conservative Leadership election!

With everything else going on politically that is perilous, possibly deadly to Labour and social democracy as well as to Starmer personally, the framing of the deputy leadership election as a referendum on the PM seems quaint! Going on full Marie Antoinette
