The Brexit benefit that we voted for while we were members of the European Union you couldn’t make this shit up.
In case you missed it ... For average UK taxpayers, EU membership cost around 11p per day, 82p per week or £3.50 per month. For that we got packed shelves, picked crops, frictionless trade, skilled EU workers, and freedom to live, work, study & retire across 32 European nations! #BrexitHasFailed
Great to see.. Just hope more politicians will have the guts call out X for what it is and stop using it. Labour minister says she removed social media platform’s app from her mobile phone when Elon Musk took over Source: the Guardian search.app/cc1mq6i8Bbh5...

It’s not just government which must clean up the murky world of online advertising. Advertisers themselves can do far more. They should direct their £35bn a year to genuine trusted platforms and ensure their brands aren’t served up alongside this dangerous content. www.thetimes.com/article/dd9f...

Great article but given the consensus over Threads’ shortcomings shame it doesn’t explore other options a bit more - particularly Bluesky which has seen such a surge in joiners from the UK.
I wrote about the ongoing X-odus, and about why I don’t think Threads is the future. But @emilybell.bsky.social’s quotes steal the show, tbh. www.theguardian.com/media/articl...
There’s been an exodus of users from X, propelled by Elon Musk’s lurch to the far right, but the alternatives have drawbacks too
Now that the dust has settled on the civil unrest that swept UK in the last month, I think it’s a better time to start attempting to draw some conclusions on what the public think about its causes, who is responsible and how the government did…🧵
More importantly, who does the public say is at fault? Tommy Robinson is the individual the public hold most responsible, but Nigel Farage is second – with half saying he is “responsible”. Aside from anything else, this will likely have an impact on the Con leadership race.
If there's going to be an X..odus from Twitter/X (and I think there should be) let's make it a coordinated one. My thoughts on how and when. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/techno...
Twitter/X has become a cesspit of racism, bullying and unpleasantness. Has the time have come for a mass X-odus and shall we name the date?
