Neither can I. I've met Jess on several occasions and the shit she has to put up with in this country is bad enough.

I get an almost constant stream of people on the right parroting misinformation but the way Musk is using the platform to destabilise governments is not only appalling but also very sinister. I don't use this word often but he's a c*** and everyone should be concerned. He's almost a Bond villain made flesh which would be comical if it weren't so alarming.

You can just ignore the other stuff you know.


Yup, I know, but I hate seeing people peddle lies. I've no problem people holding different opinions to myself, some of my best friends are Conservatives so we frequently disagree, so long as they back up their views with facts. I can't ignore someone calling the likes of Jess Phillips a rape genocide apologist.

Yes. There's differences of opinions and there's people actively calling for a race war and as the past summer has shown, the latter are not just words on a screen.

And that works all ways, as Labour activists in Ladywood, Yardley and Hodge Hill will attest.

The silence of the Tories on what Musk is saying about Starmer and Phillips tells you all you need to know about the Tories.

And now he's going after Ed Davey because Ed Davey said we can't rely on a supposed ally that has senior figures that have insinuated they want to overthrow British democracy and invade us, going so far as pretending that a vote that was about stopping deportations at the height of Windrush so we could avoid repeating the scandal was about the fucking grooming gangs.

Odious individual, sincerely hope that nobody gets inspired to attack anyone. Already seen that Jess Phillips was subject to targeted harassment over the weekend. And Jenrick, Philp and Badenoch are scumbags for playing up to this.

Badenoch is busy trying to perch herself on a fence that doesn’t exist and who she is going to actually appeal to is anybodys guess. Possibly the worst pick since Hague if you forget that Truss existed for a few days

Well he's not an going to be an official,  but I had no issue with the content of Davey's post aside from it being patronising.

The more handwringing there is over stuff like this the worse it will get. Every time someone in a position of relative power pushes back against this content it only amplifies the dog whistle that certain UK politicians are more bothered by social media posts than the rape of children. Better to just ignore. They literally can't win the argument when its put in those terms.

Davey is bang on.
Call in the US ambassador on the day that Trump and President Musk taken office. Ask for an explanation why Musk is trying to overthrow UK govt.
Expel the ambassador if needs be. If we upset the yanks we have a brilliant market right on our doorstep in the EU.
Oh!
