Absolutely crucial piece of research on misinformation in local news on Facebook, X and Nextdoor by @smfthinktank.bsky.social Full report is here (www.smf.co.uk/publications...) but these are some key findings:
Still. Those climate change and anti-war protestors are for it!
When is our government going to grow some balls and ban X too?

MPs had damn well better decide this morning whose side they're really on before #PMQs at noon.
Either they back liberal democracy and the rule of law or, by continuing to mouth weasel words about 'legitimate grievances', 'two-tier policing', 'back doors' and the like, they don't.

I will have to go and see my GP. I've got a disturbing issue atm. Currently, I keep finding The Telegraph YouTube channels do actual journalisms on Ukraine and Iran and so on. Makes zero sense in that ecosystem when you consider what a "non-safe for toilet paper use" issue the actual newspaper is.

It’s the lack of guts that undermines Starmer too. Musk, attempting to start a race war in the UK. Downing Street? Hello? HELLO? Oh.
I have believed this too. Partially I know subjectively, because the alternative was too horrific (i.e., genocide of Ukraine by Russia), but also because of (the Russian idiocy) the 1,000's of missiles and drones Russia has used to murder Ukrainian civilians, instead of attacking their military...

I don't know how Keir Starmer can wake up in the morning, see that pogroms have been taking place under his watch, that they are being fuelled by literal illegal activity on social media, and not make it his entire purpose to stop it. We know you're no politician, but are you not a lawyer?
