Historical revisionism about COVID-19 and the public health response is now mainstream. The next pandemic will likely be even harder to manage due to a relentless propaganda campaign to weaken public support for masking, vaccines, social distancing, etc.
This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

I don’t regret voting Labour tactically in ‘15, ‘17, ‘19 and ‘24 but there is absolutely no way I could vote Labour next time. They are betting I’ll back them no matter what to keep out Reformatory; in my view accountability has to count for something. They had their chance and they blew it.
Under First Past the Post, tactical voting has become a major feature of our general elections in the UK – a symptom of a system that forces voters to game the rules instead of expressing their opinions and values.
Forced to make a tactical vote? We shouldn’t have to vote for the least bad option
Every election, millions of us head to the polling station in a conflicted state of mind – should I vote for the party I most believe in, or should tactical considerations come into pl

Even Starmer has acknowledged that we need to move closer to the EU, but his Government have offered no serious plan to make this happen. If we want to boost trade, we must rejoin the Single Market and Customs Union.

Sorry, this is from the other place.
Can you imagine the uproar from the right wing press if someone had died in the back of an ambulance because Just Stop Oil or Extinction Rebellion had blocked the roads?
But when it’s greedy farmers who don’t want to pay the same tax as the rest of us … nada!

The world of the GenAI bubble feels like a bunch of people involved in making a blockbuster movie that turns out to be crap.
There’s LOADS of talent and AMAZING things being done and the set is buzzing but - there’s something flat, predictable, unengaging, unoriginal and tedious about the result.
