Being reliant on X for formal public interest communication is not viable.

Danish police (finally) leaves X and creates their own channel for formal communication and announcements.

Communication sovereignty.

So true. Both sises-ism has been pissing me of for years.

Trump complaining about russia’s failures instead of russia’s crimes.

Instead of "he should have won that war in a week" how about he had no right to invade a sovereign nation. Never mind about the russian soldiers; how about all the civilians toutured, murdered and raped, the execution of POW's and the kidnapping of children? Krasnov makes me puke.

Putin is between a rock & a hard place, economically & in terms of the war in Ukraine. Which is likely why he furiously doubles down bombing UN trucks in Kherson, hospital in Kharkiv & civilians all over. A terrorist to the core, Putin does the only thing he knows how to do, demand more murders.

Brexit is Farage and his fellow Brexiters' shitstorm to own. He/they can't be allowed to just pivot from heckle to heckle and bad idea to worse - while blaming everyone else - without consequences.

So the suggestion that Labour are going to amplify that truth is to be welcomed.

“An essential condition today for entry into the upper echelons of Conservative party politics is being willing to at least pretend that you think taking Britain out of the EU was a good idea. This is a never-ending lobotomy for the Tories”

Brexit will always ruin you in the end.

The party can’t keep expecting successful people to pretend that leaving the EU was a good idea
