A social media ban for under-16s would be popular

But would it actually help?

A proposed ban is looking increasingly likely – yet it would come with tricky implications

Calling transphobia a 'gateway drug' to the far right undersells it. It's pure accelerant. Grimly fascinating to guess what crankery becomes any famous transphobe's secondary obsession, cos they all have one: 15 minute cities are fascism! Grok noncing is cool! ICE are good! We should kill all dogs!

With @stopfundinghate.bsky.social we've uncovered that The Times' sister channel TalkTV is pushing climate misinformation like “CO2 is not a threat to the planet” and the science behind it “doesn’t add up to a row of beans”.

We've written to Ofcom giving it 14 days to explain why it failed to act.

Time for Government to stop tinkering around the edges and scrap leasehold altogether.
Ground rent cap is good news (though peppercorn would be better straight away). Also welcome is promised abolition of new leasehold properties. Better still would be the outright abolition of leasehold altogether, a feudal anachronism virtually unique to England and Wales.

Yeah. A lot of what Reform wants to do basically builds on what Labour is currently making possible

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.

It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.
