NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests.
So, best we share all the footage we can here!
This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu.

If you’re drawn to a politician because they promise to be cruel to Muslims or Jews or immigrants or gays or transgender people etc, the least you should do - the absolute, bare bones, still morally vacuous least - is ask yourself whether they’re likely to stop at the group you want to see targeted.

Richard Tice car crash in Scotland. He doesn't know the full names of the two Reform UK defectors or which council they are from.
It truly deserves to go viral.

Trump could have pushed for an end to the war in Ukraine without becoming actively hostile to Ukraine. Instead, he has imbibed Putin’s lies. Have written about the emergence of a new US/Russia axis, where it comes from and the staggering implications for Europe.

A Trump shill on Newsnight claims there are more people in prison in UK jails for freedom of speech violations than in Putin’s Russia.
These people are radicalised, insane, plain stupid or some combination of all three.

Lewis is right. I have been dismayed by how little coverage Musk’s adventure has garnered in British press. Is there a better story than world’s richest man and his gang of 20 something interns take control of world’s largest country’s computer systems?
There really hasn’t been as much coverage of Musk’s state capture as there should have been across the British media in last 24 hours. Not so on News Agents. Here’s today’s episode with 20 mins on the subject. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...
