Perhaps Elon Musk should call his online encyclopedia Fascipedia.
He calls the far-right group Britain First a patriotic political party. Its leader went to gaol for hate crimes.

The Spectator and others have chosen (deliberately I suspect) to interpret this article as a desire to stop a future Reform UK government from legislating. My purpose is to stop *any* government crushing our fundamental rights. It’s just more urgent now. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We must act now: without a written constitution, Reform UK will have carte blanche to toxify our nation | Goerge Monbiot

It means breaking with hundreds of years of tradition, but it can’t wait. As hard-right figures spread division and laud autocrats, a fail-safe is vital, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

‘I’m suddenly so angry!’ My strange, unnerving week with an AI ‘friend’

The ad campaign for the wearable AI chatbot Friend has been raising hackles for months in New York. But has this companion been unfairly maligned – and could it help end loneliness?

Noticed that figs, potatoes, and blackberries bought from #M&S and #Tesco have 'not for EU' on labels.
They contain substances banned in the EU.

In 10 years' time, it's hard to imagine most cars won't be electric. I'm guessing over 90%.

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins?

He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions.

So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

I signed this letter.

This isn't about party politics but about my constituents.

Reform would rip that up. Irresponsible.
