Goodbye Twitter / X.
I used to enjoy the debates but it’s now too toxic for me to tolerate. Closing my account.
You can find me @thinkgov.bsky.social

Nottingham families say NHS and police have ‘blood on their hands’ over killings - don’t they recognise the impact of austerity? It’s unfair to blame under resourced professionals. bbc.com/news/articles/cn47mm…

Agreed, truth shouldn’t be suppressed. Which is why it’s best not to dump it in a landfill site, pour over it a slurry of half-truths, misinformation, insults, blatant lies, random speculation and conspiracy, and then above that stinking mess type the word ‘True.’
Freedom of speech is the bedrock of democracy. If the truth is suppressed, it is impossible to make an informed voting decision.
The degree to which freedom of speech is being undermined around the world is extremely alarming.

Free legal advice:
You don’t have to attend a riot to be prosecuted for conspiracy to riot. You don’t have to be present at a terrorist incident to be guilty of encouraging it.
A lot of Twitter warriors will be getting some unpleasant knocks on the door over the coming weeks.

Put simply: If you engage in violent protests, you will face the full force of the law.

M'learned friends on X: does this (from Laurence Fox) qualify as fair and reasonable comment? Or could it be viewed as incitement?

Justifying criminality is a resignation level offence for a PCC.

This is how it's done. You know Axel Rudakubana, accused of the Southport killings, is not an illegal migrant, so you say "ordinary people" think he is. Once upon a time experienced journalists saw it as their job to put people straight.

#OlympicGamesParis2024 TV coverage isn’t easy to follow. I want to watch the #golf but despite having a full BT / EE sports package I can’t find anything.

Always remember the right wing social media voices are not stupid! They know exactly what they’re doing!
There were no mistakes.

It is always more cost effective to keep people healthy than it is to treat them when they are ill.
We must invest in public health and primary care to keep people healthy and catch disease early - it's better for the patients and it's better for the taxpayer.

Nearly all the overspend was the result of the *insane* decision to stop processing. Whatever had happened with Rwanda there was no way we could keep 100k people permanently in hotels.

I’m old enough to remember when tories were pro-business, pro-growth, and had something to say about the future. What happened Jesse?

If you can get to Wendford Bridge it’s their Pizza tonight.
They are on the Camel Trail in Cornwall.
Looks like a really good wood fired pizza oven.
I’ve ordered a Mediterranean and a Chorizo pizza.
