To get this straight, there is a very accessible website/app available in the UK that is allowing users to generate images of child pornography, and the government is doing nothing to stop it?
Keir Starmer's spokesman tells me that X and Grok's creation of sexual deepfakes of children is "completely unacceptable" but again won't commit to taking direct action against them, or to stop posting there.

There is no silver lining that won't be crushed. No hope that won't be extinguished. No good vibe that won't be stomped out. All misery all the time. Liverpool 25-26.

100% seriously, European leaders and Commission officials should plan on the basis that the US might do this to them too, about Greenland, about tech regulation, about “Christian values”, about “free speech”, whatever.

A defining moment for Europe. If it endorses/fails to condemn this flagrant breach of international law, it will have surrendered its core justification for opposing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

Stop using his website then? Every minute spent on there, every tweet sent, is lining his pockets.
Ed Miliband turns on Elon Musk. “He incites violence on our steeets. He calls for the overthrow of our government. He disseminates disinformation. He thinks he can tell us how to run Britain. We have a message for Elon Musk: ‘Get the hell out of our politics and our country!’”

It's probably not a bad idea to just let Farage get out there as much as he can and show the public just how deeply weird and off-putting he is to the vast majority of us.

I mean, when it comes to science I usually side with the vast majority of trained scientific opinion. I don't know about you?
Farage asked on @lbc.co.uk whether he agreed with on the unproven link between paracetamol and autism
“I have no idea... We were told thalidomide was a v safe drug and it isn’t. who knows. I don’t know, you don’t know…when it comes to science I don’t side with anybody. It’s never settled.”

The media failing to report growing post-Trump scepticism about quitting international treaties is related to its misreporting of asylum protests as a mass movement

Again, why critical thinking skills are crucial in education. If people are bombarded with a constant stream of algorithmically selected content that engages them emotionally and we aren't equipping them with critical thinking skills from an early age then things like this are the inevitable outcome
