When ministers defended Starmer over Mandelson’s links to Epstein this week, they rushed to X - a platform that lets users strip photos of women and girls.
Is it surely time for the government to log off X? And is social media too toxic for all of us?

Given the toxicity of social media, a moral question now faces all of us: is it still ethical to use it? | Frances Ryan

The other parties offer the masses nothing, although in a few years ITV will be able to make a gripping political psycho drama, based on the current government.

The government criminalised a lot of decent people for no good reason, and the judiciary didn't like it.
This is what happens when you demonise the Left & disappoint the Right, you end up with no friends, no support.
This was all very predictable.
