Letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer condemning Elon Musk for inciting violence and urging unity to defend democracy.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

I hate the gigantic environmental impact of wider AI adoption, apparently in housing here - almost nobody I speak to about AI is already aware of the energy required to facilitate it.

This is a positive big development that should have dominated the UK news. What on earth has happened to Labour Comms?

Genuinely wonderful to see, action which won’t receive a fair slice of media coverage sadly, but we are grateful 🤗

The welfare state and the entrapment of low-income creatives Welfare bias traps poor and disabled creatives, wasting talent and silencing voices that could enrich our culture and economy

Well said!

Crow: "Look at what happened. US military personnel in uniform literally were on hands & knees rolling out a red carpet for the most murderous dictator of the 21st century...we keep on acting like Putin deserves to be brought out in open like any of head of state. This is a historic embarrassment."

My greatest sympathies, I’m certain she’s had a wonderfully comfortable and enjoyable life with you ❤️

Shocking read, but what isn’t at this point regarding the Trump admin. If anything I should be getting less and less disgusted.

Can’t believe I didn’t immediately comment on the wonderful investigative journalism there 🥴👏

Well said - has been the topic of much discussion in my household today; quite remarkable.
These dark sides complete with lies and embezzlement will lay dormant without being put into comprehensive print and its hugely important to disperse, irrespective of how well-written The Salt Path(+) is.
