We deserve a democracy that represents usβ€” not billionaire donors, foreign governments, tax dodgers and shadowy elites.

The govt’s new Elections Bill is supposed to clean up big money in politics. But as it stands its not strong enough.

Poor Matt Goodwin. All he ever wanted was to be a hard working MP/academic/tv presenter/commentator/writer/pollster/wealth adviser/women’s health guru and you all ripped that away from him. A shame

Statement from Matt Goodwin,
UK candidate:


Reform


"Given the reports we are reading in
UK media about family voting and
sectarianism, I am deeply concerned
about the extent to which the Gorton
and Denton parliamentary by-election
is a free, fair, and democratic election."

Very sad to hear of the passing of Rob Grant, co-creator of the brilliant #RedDwarf. My teenage daughter recently watched all 74 episodes with me (not all at once) and loved them all.

This week’s main story is about Twitter. Or β€œX” if you’re a hall monitor. How it went from bad to worse under Elon Musk, how it’s impacting us all, and why there’s exactly one account there that we’re still fine with.

Elizabeth Cotton joins us on the Mad in America #podcast for part 2 of our discussion in which she traces how digital therapy can block the very thing people come for: a stable, human relationship that can hold fear, dependency, and ambivalence.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.

Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.

Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.

Non-consensual sexually explicit deepfakes are a form of image-based sexual abuse. While the Grok scandal dominated the headlines, the issue is much bigger than one platform alone.

Non-consensual sexually explicit deepfakes are a form of image-based sexual abuse. While the Grok scandal dominated the headlines, the issue is much bigger than one platform alone.

While the new criminal offence is welcome, much more needs to be done to prevent this abuse from happening in the first place.

That’s why today we’re delivering our 73,000-strong petition to Downing Street calling for the government to go much further.

We’re calling for:

Civil routes to justice including takedown orders requiring images to be removed from online platforms and perpetrators’ devices.

Relationships and sex education that’s fit for young people’s lived realities in the digital age.

Funding for specialist services that provide survivors with life-saving advocacy and support.

We need to prevent abuse rather than waiting until harm is done. This means:

βœ… Proper regulation of the tech companies that promote and profit from abuse
βœ… Education fit for our lives in the digital age

Stop image-based abuse

Stop image-based abuse

Over the last 18 months, survivor and campaigner Jodie*, the End Violence Against Women Coalition,  #NotYourPorn, Professor Clare McGlynn and Glamour UK have campaigned for action to stop deepfake abuse. Today, a new law comes into force making it illegal.

Today following months of campaigning by survivor
Jodie, @evawuk.bsky.social, #NotYourPorn, @claremcglynn.bsky.social and @glamouruk.bsky.social, a new law comes into force criminalising deepfake abuse.

This is a welcome and long-overdue step for survivors, but criminalisation alone is not enough.

It was great that BBC radio 4 covered the harmful effects of finasteride, including persistent sexual dysfunction. More attention is needed to the fact that SSRIs and other antidepressants cause similar, potentially devastating effects. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
