It is way past time for the UK government & the BBC to get off X & for Musk to be treated as a threat to national security.

The world's richest man is using his site to promote civil war, ethnic violence & the overthrow of an elected government.

You won't win him over with another conference on AI
Elon Musk: "It is time for the English to ally with the hard men, like Tommy Robinson, and fight for their survival or they shall surely all die" 29th October 2025. 2 million views in its first hour.

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain.

Nobody with any sense or decency should be there.

No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there.

Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.

Elon Musk continues to try to socialise civil war, political & inter-ethnic violence in Britain. He combines an argument that violence is inevitable with his call at the Tommy Robinson rally for pre-emptive violence, on grounds of an existential threat & the inevitability of violence

Quite remarkable that 'hotels are not a great place for asylum seekers themselves to be based in ' is being presented as if it's news.
Half the internet seems to be down thanks to the us-aws-east-1 outage

Brexit will hurt the economy for ‘foreseeable future’, the Governor of the Bank of England confirms.
It’s years late, but much more of this Brexit truth-telling and the Government might actually have to do something about it.

Brexit has been destructive to our economy, and has cost us £140 BILLIONS already.

Rachel Reeves: "The impact of Brexit is severe and long lasting."

Check out our Brexit cost tracker: https://www.bestforbritain.org/brexit_impact
Noting:
Only a decade or so late
@pimlicat.bsky.social:
"Rachel Reeves is completely correct to highlight the severity and long-term damage of Brexit - which slashed UK GDP by 4% - but more importantly has been a calamity for Brits facing spiralling supermarket prices and rocketing energy bills."

Government right to highlight Brexit impact ahead of Budget
Rachel Reeves is right to "highlight the severity and long-term damage of Brexit", in her comments ahead of the Budget, campaigners have said.

"Did you enjoy the Brexit chaos and want another few years of it... then leave the ECHR..."
Reposted by Matthew Buck
I realise that there are lots of erudite and entirely correct reasons against leaving the ECHR, but surely the main one to be repeated ad nauseam is "from the people who told you Brexit would solve all of your problems - how did that work out for you?"

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins?

He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions.

So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

So Reform / Farage want to deport hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of UK residents, turning the country into an effective police state, breaking treaties, and impoverishing the economy and health service?

Just focus on all that. The moral gutter of politics.
Retrospectively removing indefinite leave to remain would be immoral and economically damaging. It would tear families apart.
Attacking it as ‘potentially illegal’ is completely beside the point.
Argue with the (awful) idea. Don’t try ’well, actually you can’t do that’.
