Some young people are more vulnerable to conspiracy theories. But it’s not who you think. Fascinating talk from @sallyburtonshaw.bsky.social at the launch of the groundbreaking Commission Into Countering Online Conspiracies in Schools report

Really interesting big-picture take in the context of everything the current government is working on
It's not finished. This is just the outline. But I wrote about why North England is poor. Which it really really is. tomforth.co.uk/whynorthengl...
