It took #Meta almost 1000 days of Russias war of aggression against Ukraine πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ to ban #Russia Today, Sputnik and other disinformation media outlets. In the EU, like in the UK, we banned RT in March 2022. We need to take disinformation much more seriously.

I strongly support the health and prosperity report from IPPR. There’s just too much disease. It’s bankrupting our country. We can bend the curve downwards. But only with a huge effort. It’s worth it for the massive social and financial dividend. Let’s do it. #HealthNation πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Meta is running scared. They don't push out changes like these unless A) they're forced to (think the 2021 UK Age Appropriate Design Code) or B) they think they're going to be forced to. Bigger Q, why didn't these features launch years ago? nytimes.com/2024/09/17/tec…

Demand for child sexual abuse images is driving an international child trafficking scandal, with children raped and tortured for money. It might be difficult to talk about, but it’s time for conservatives to take up the cause. The Centre for Social Justice Lord Bethell

Hitting vaccine targets depends on making it easy for people. We did it in the pandemic but it's now too hard to get your jab. This isn't about hesitancy or blaming parents. It's about learning the lesson. The #NHS needs to make it easy. #HealthNation thetimes.com/article/f3819e…

This was an awful crime with devastating consequences for the children involved. I am baffled by the sentencing decision. It sends the signal to consumers of illegal content that digital crimes are somehow different to real world crimes. A review would challenge this attitude.

With πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ economy losing Β£25bn/pa on shrinking workforce, it’s critical we understand the problem properly. Inequalities and sickness are the heart of the problem, not benefit fraud or ligger-ism. It’s important we face into this uncomfortable truth. thetimes.com/article/b42552…

There are 20 local authorities where >15% of 16-64yos claim health-related benefits (just 2 before pandemic!). Sure, some are liggers. But most are genuinely sick. And it's bankrupting πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§. We need big interventions, not tinkering. #HealthNation ifs.org.uk/sites/default/…
