🧵 This week we asked people what they thought about Elon Musk's interventions into UK politics, Nigel Farage and grooming gangs. We found Musk's interventions had really cut through with the public - with 63% having at least heard a fair amount about what he's had to say.

Since Mark Zuckerberg announced today that is ending third party fact-checking on Facebook, I thought it would be relevant to reshare our study about the long-term, causal impact of exposure to hyperpartisan/low-quality content on social media:
3 Oct 2024
In 2 digital field experiments, we found that unfollowing hyperpartisan influencers on Twitter:
-Reduced partisan animosity by 24%—with effects persisting for 6 months!
-Increased satisfaction with Twitter
-Led people to share higher-quality news

The level of abuse Kemi and I receive for being black Conservatives never ceases to amaze me. Today, it’s comments about deporting us.
Incredible that so many people find not being white so triggering.

Anyone else been given a “friendly nudge” not to “tweet about Gaza/Israel so much” because “it could be misconstrued [in the media industry]”
I have.
To the person concerned: unlike you, I’m not a bully, biased or a coward. I’m evidence driven.
Try it again and I’ll out you.

Over 60 MPs from eight parties have now backed my Parliamentary motion calling for sanctions on Israel.
Israel is carrying out war crime after war crime.
Our Government must impose widespread sanctions on Israel to force it to stop.
