In today's surprising news we learn that urgently needed migrant workers don't want to work in an unwelcoming anti-migrant and sometimes openly racist environment.

Only 56 games and 21 defeats into his tenure, Ruben Amorim concedes Manchester United would need “to spend a lot of money and time” to play “a perfect 3-4-3”, switches to 4-2-3-1 and they immediately look a more competent team against Newcastle.
Would this be football’s first sackable win?

I don't think you can explain people staying on X without saying something about their discomfort or lack of it with the use of the platform to promote racism and fascism in the US and elsewhere. Not mentioning the topic is very revealing.
I saw someone ask why anyone would still use X when Bluesky is available.
I think the explanation is:
1 Experience on a platform depends far more on who you interact with there than on the platform overall.
2 The experience you get on academic adjacent Bluesky is not a good fit for everyone.

Keir Starmer’s Lab gott has clearly seen itself as a taker rather than a maker of immigration attitudes. In practice, it has by both acts and omissions added to salience & public misperceptions. It needed more comtrol of boats to do better but in 2025 fuelled misperception that numbers still rising

So much of this election data commentary misses the basic point that the entire reason for contesting elections in the first place is to exercise power on behalf of voters who want action on the issues that matter to them, even if a sizable % of the public disagrees and votes for the opposite

Labour does so badly in this poll mainly because, as the tables show, they lose 29% of their 2024 vote to the Lib Dems and Greens.
Only 8% goes to Reform, just ahead of the 6% to the Cons. Those Lab–Con switchers push the Tories over 20%, despite them losing a quarter of their 2024 vote to Reform.

I think this misunderstands the current Labour project. They're willing to burn votes because they're more interested in pursuing their policy and personal financial goals of racism, transphobia, selling out creative industries to tech firms, and legally categorising dissent as terrorism.

The weird embarrassment over admitting this - especially with regards to Twitter, which is overwhelmingly the most politically influential social network - is incredibly exasperating. Not least because the right figured it out instantly and used it to pretty much take over the planet!
