Friday's Scotsman column, on Margaret Thatcher's 100th anniversary. The sad recent history of the UK shows her to have been wrong about almost everything. But in an age of
failing politics, we now need leaders who can do as she did, in one crucial way....

On her 100th birthday, there’s one lesson the left needs to learn from Thatcher to avoid disaster

Progressive political parties need to find leaders who are able, as Margaret Thatcher once was, to change the political weather and usher in a new age of better lives for ordinary people

Reminders for following a breaking news story like the shooting of Charlie Kirk in Utah ⤵️

⚠️ Bad actors & opportunists often use such moments when information is being gathered & fact-checked to recklessly push unverified claims & conspiracy theories.

Text-heavy and colorful infographic titled BREAKING NEWS CHECKLIST with
6 tips on "What to do when information is scarce, falsehoods are rampant
and the story is still unfolding" 1 Mind the gap: Keep in mind that
there’s often a gap between what the public wants to know and the verified
information available. Unconfirmed or completely bogus content often rushes in
to fill that gap. 2 Beware bad actors: Remember that bad actors often
capitalize on breaking news situations to spread falsehoods for easy likes and
shares. 3 Do a quick search: This is often your best defense against
misinformation. 4 Look for evidence: Claims that make bold assertions but
provide no links or other evidence should always be approached with caution. 5
Seek credible sources: Be intentional about looking for credible news and not
relying on social media algorithms to bring you updates. 6 Practice patience:
Quality journalism and verification take time. Be ready to follow news
developments over time.
