I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Written quickly over a manly weekend coffee. Grrr.

I think one could get close to that by expressing of small boats, “That looks frighteningly dangerous. We should stop that” (which I think some right wingers initially claimed was their standpoint) rather than of migrants on small boats, “They look frightening and dangerous. We should stop them.”

What I found problematic was that he was the presenter rather than a commentator. In my view the presenter should at least be factually accurate AND be able to challenge others when they aren’t or ask questions rather than assert the untruths of others.
