Politicians shouldn’t hang on this long. They simply are not able to serve their constituency & the public to the level that the people deserve over all that time.
It’s pure ego & greed. Stepping away far earlier should be normalised.

underexamined in the debate about banning youths from social media is that we are effectively talking about regulating social media as a vice industry like alcohol, tobacco and gambling, but with the public health implications of that not at all applying to adult use of social media

![On the last day of filming her scenes, Hepburn inquired Mankiewicz to confirm that her services were no longer required. When Mankiewicz did, Hepburn approached him and spat in his face.[12] Sources differ as to whether she also spat in Sam Spiegel's face.[13] According to one biography, Hepburn marched into Spiegel's office and harshly said, "You're just a pig in a silk suit who send flowers!" She spat on the office floor and left.[14]

People often jump to saying online propaganda is either the work of radicalised actors, or else Russia.
In practice, it’s amazing how often the answer is much simpler – someone is chasing either (a) clout, (b) money, or (c) both.

Hate-filled fake videos about London are everywhere. We've obtained a recording of a TikToker confessing to secretly filming Londoners in their homes for clicks.
He says it's not political. He just wants to make money from far-right anger.
