We've been researching misinformation in local Facebook groups (and other local platforms). This ad drives users to what appears to be an energy bill payment scam, using a fake Farage Newsnight energy story as the hook.

Today I have met Lucy, Mark and Katie, Henry Nowak’s mother, father and stepmother. Their courage is extraordinary. They have endured the most appalling loss, it is a life sentence for them. They have also faced the agonising decision to release the harrowing body-worn camera footage, knowing how painful it would be and how strongly people would react. They did so because they want truth, accountability and change. They have asked that we work across political parties and religions to rebuild trust in the police. That trust has been broken because of what happened, and I agree with them on that. We must also be prepared to examine, carefully and seriously, religious practices or exemptions that permit the carrying of dangerous weapons in public, and other activities that are not conducive to the public good. We also need to examine where the law needs to change. Henry’s family do not want anger to tear communities apart. They are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. His family want his memory to help bring our society together. Everyone knows I have strong views about how we should deal with equality under the law. What the family agreed with me on is that we need to bring common sense back, and that is what we should all be fighting for. I promised the family that we will work to ensure there is a positive legacy for Henry out of this tragedy. That is my focus now.

When trying to lobby him to vote for him as Oxford University Chancellor, Peter Mandelson kept getting Ed Miliband's out of office:

The British left must master artificial intelligence to take on authoritarians, a former Downing Street chief of staff has warned. politico.eu/article/morgan-m…

#SaintsFc Detemination 39 of the findings was a reprimand for use of junior members of staff which it says was “at the least morally wrong” and “in a vulnerable position without job security and with limited ability to object” Tonda has stooped lower than any of us could imagine 😞

Kemi Badenoch goes for Starmer over his decisions to remove sanctions from Russia-derived oil and diesel from third countries. She accuses him of ‘choosing to buy dirty Russian oil’ that will find the killing of Ukrainian soldiers Starmer says the government has a new package of new sanctions. New bans on maritime services and refined oil products from Russia He says that the exemptions are time limited and are being done to phase in sanctions. ‘These are new sanctions being phased in. This is not a question of lifting existing sanctions in any way whatsoever’ Badenoch says: ‘This level of processology is not going to get him out of this. Labour is giving money to Russia. In March when the US eased sanctions on Russia the PM said all sanctions should maintain pressure on Russia. What’s changed?’ Starmer accuses her of misrepresenting the permission. It is not less pressure on Russia, but more pressure. He says this is being done to protect UK consumers. He accuses her of failing to do her homework Badenoch: ‘Being patronising is not a substitute for understanding policy’. She says the EU is not doing this. ‘He is now choosing to buy dirty Russian oil. That money will be used to fund the killing of Ukrainian soldiers. Isn’t he ashamed’ Starmer says these are new bans. They are being phased in exactly the same way as the last government did. ‘To play party politics on Ukraine… the only people that benefit is Putin’
