Wikipedia is currently in a legal battle with the UK government to try and stop the platform being censored in the UK - or even completely blocked - thanks to the Online Safety Act.
More on Starmer's Science Secretary who threatened to shut down X earlier this week: This is Peter Kyle. He's in charge UK tech policy and he may be one of the most conflicted figures in Westminster. A case in point... In February, his department awarded a £2,300,000 contract…
We are deeply concerned by the findings in the House Judiciary Committee's interim report, led by Chairman @Jim_Jordan, exposing the EU's misuse of the Digital Services Act (DSA) as a tool for censorship. The report reveals how the DSA pressures tech companies to alter their…
Stop the invasion and stop the windmills. President Trump saying what needs to be said to Europe.
England is losing some of its best farmland to solar panels, with nearly two-thirds of mega solar farms now built on productive agricultural land, a new report reveals. Absolutely shameful vandalism of the countryside, farmland and food supply. farminguk.com/news/top-farml…
5/ 🚨 13,061 lost migrant children have already been located. It's a big start. ICE is coordinating with state and local law enforcement, Child Protective Services, and foreign governments. Reunifications with parents are underway.
🚨 TRUMP FINDS THE CHILDREN BIDEN LOST 13,061 migrant minors LOST under Biden have been FOUND under President Trump. And over 400 of their so-called “sponsors” have been ARRESTED. This is one of the most horrifying scandals in modern history—and Trump is cleaning it up. 🧵
This has to be one of the worst published articles attacking Brexit that I've seen in a good while. Absolute garbage. Not that I'd expect much better from "The New World" aka the New European, but this really sinks to a new low. archive.is/msBov
🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just WALKED OUT TO A MASSIVE CROWD of very excited Scots in Turnberry, Scotland off Air Force One. The media wants us to believe 47 is hated around the world, I guess not 🤣 Working ALL WEEKEND this guy. Never stops. And WOW at that crowd.
Solar and wind are advertised as being cheaper than fossil fuels, but when added to the grid, they actually make household electricity prices skyrocket. 🚀 At face value, it is true that solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and turbines can harness energy from the sun and wind,…

Oh here we gooooo Remember Keir Starmer’s Chief of Staff, Morgan McSweeney, founded the Centre for Countering Digital Hate, which tried to “Kill Musk’s Twitter” The Left can’t stand open forums and free speech because they lose all the arguments. Censorship is their only way
"Could Britain shut X down?" "Britain has the power to shut down any platform." As new rules aim to shield children online from pornographic & harmful content, @bbcpaddy presses Science & Tech Secretary Peter Kyle on how far the government is willing to go. #Newsnight
ECONOMY - As we near £3 TRILLION in debt, you need to focus now. The IMF are in the wings. It might start with the triple lock and tax increases but it won’t end there. The government has no way out but to slash all non essential spending, but they won’t. We are so screwed 💣
It was the Tories who slashed the CGT allowances from £12.3k to £3k in 24-25, making another 87k taxpayers potentially liable for CGT Then Reeves hiked CGT rates in her October Budget to between 18% and 32% — up from the previous rates of between 10% & 28% 2 sets of dimwits.
Yet more evidence that increases in the burden of capital gains tax (CGT) reduce revenue. CGT receipts fell 18% from the 22-23 year to £12.1bn in the 23-24 year, even as the annual tax-free allowance was halved from £12.3k to £6k CGT receipts in 24-25 dropped a further 10% 1/3
The Online Safety Act is not gonna make it. Brits have no idea how much anger there is in the U.S. political apparatus over Internet censorship and the lengths America - the entity - is prepared to go to stop it.

Those few of us who opposed this law when in @UKHouseofLords fought hard to expose its threat to free speech & privacy. This thread explains how dangerous. & illberal it is. One of its core claims-protecting children-doesn't hold up to scrutiny & for adults, it's a tool online…
🚨 UK’s Online Safety Act just came into effect, promising a “safer” internet. It’s a lie. This law threatens YOUR privacy, free speech, and democracy and paves the way for a surveilled, censored web. Want to know how bad it gets? 🧵
We're told we're creating lots of 'good green jobs' But when we look more closely we're counting dustmen (waste) and Extinction Rebellion (environmental charities) as 'green workers' They have to fudge the figures to hide the truth. There are no 'good green jobs' Shysters!
