I didnโ€™t bring the bill in. Why are you shouting at me. My kids are raised (well). Iโ€™m considering children who arenโ€™t mine.

This is how rude people tweet, youโ€™re not pleasant, youโ€™re just rude.

Anyone else feel conflicted about the Online Safety Act?

Protecting kids is vital. IMO kids being able to see stuff their minds arenโ€™t ready for is seriously damaging.

But the bill also harvests data. No getting away from it. How do we trust thatโ€™s not exploited?

I mean - she was a Queen. But yes, pedantry would have required a longer heading

If you stop blaming immigrants you will start blaming billionaires.

And they can't be having that.

Thereโ€™s zero silver lining to the atrocities & slaughter currently happening in Palestine.

None. Itโ€™s heartbreaking.

But, itโ€™s caused millions of people to catch up on the complex history of the Middle East and how the horrors of the 7th Oct were not the beginning.

I include myself in this.

Witnessing Trump tell Starmer he should be aping him in terms of migration and taxes is grotesque.

No thanks to masked ICE agents aggressively intimidating people before bundling them away as his bill transfers wealth to the already wealthy.

Every day new lows.

I completely hear you and share some of that reservation. Yet, looking at Starmerโ€™s latest comms hire (bloke who has written rabid headlines for The Sun) even if it just influences his comms itโ€™ll be a positive imo. Ppl are so angry about Gaza. There needs to be way more pressure imo to โ€˜beโ€™ left

I stand corrected. It is absolutely 500,000 expressions of interest which may or may not translate into membership. Sorry for that mistake. Still very interesting though! Letโ€™s seeโ€ฆ. even if it influences Starmerโ€™s comms itโ€™ll be a positive imo

The surge of ppl joining Sultana & Corbynโ€™s party, shows how thirsty the left, or even the centre, are for change. 500,000โ€™

Shows how crazy it is that three parties pander to culture wars & the right

This plus Zack Polansky giving forthright interviews, gives me hope
