IIRC commonwealth voting was a significant pro Brexit voting constituency

Two whole years at Sloven Gardens. As we moved on 29th Feb I never know whether to mark it on 28 Feb or 1 Mar.

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.

Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

Making a public argument that protests don't work is itself a protest.

Note to non-Brits.

It isn't quite the same as the invented issue Trump is trying to "fix" with the SAVE Act.

Commonwealth citizens with the right to live in the UK can vote in the UK legally.

Many indeed voted for Brexit, something Nigel Farage didn't see as an issue then.

From the Halls of MaraLago,
To the files of Epstein,
We fight Trump’s battles to distract from Jeffrey Epstein,
First to fight for alt-Right and fiefdom,
Die to keep the Fuhrer clean,
We are proud to claim the title
Of the America First Regime.

X Is Drowning in Disinformation Following US and Israel’s Attack on Iran WIRED has reviewed hundreds of posts on X that promote misleading claims about the locations and scale of the attack.

NEW

Within minutes of Trump announcing the launch of Operation Epic Fury, X was flooded with disinformation.

Almost all of the accounts sharing fake videos of the attack on Iran featured blue checkmarks, meaning X is profiting from this.

The US and Israel have, in fact, begun an illegal war with Iran. The US lured Iran into talks and seemingly reached an agreement that Iran would end its uranium enrichment. As of 8:00 AM, Israel and the US launched a surprise attack on Iran with the intent of assassinating its leadership

every single psycho thing Donald Trump does he does only because almost every single federally elected Republican has chosen unilaterally, independently, and with complete freedom to go along with it unconditionally

With the UK recently losing its measles elimination status, we need to look at all factors impacting vaccine take-up.

Serious conversations need to be had about how we respond to actors spreading misinformation that puts public health at risk.
