The Online Safety Act drives another wedge between the public and the political class.

What if we built a whole new city in the UK? There is a group proposing to build a new city near Cambridge, to relieve pressure on housing, lab space and commercial space. A clean sheet design with new construction methods. Video by ⁦Shiv Malik⁩

I would probably spend at least 2 minutes investigating before I made such an unlikely accusation about someone who was just murdered for the perception of their opinions.
