EXCL: Keir Starmer is considering recruiting senior civil servant Sue Gray to be his new chief of staff.

Just how Tory can labour get?
Is she a Tory? I thought she was a civil servant.
Trenitalia are the main stakeholders in Greek railways.
Also hold a 50% stake in Avanti West Coast. It seems actual investment in railways isn’t there thing, just in it for the government subsidies
Jacob Rees-Mogg got special treatment by having a covid test, for his son, couriered to and from the lab at the taxpayers expense. The comical Walter the Softy in human form defended the arrangement due to his workload as a cabinet minister at the time.
His cabinet post at the time was Leader of the House, the main role of which is organising government business in the House of Commons...which was closed, normal business was suspended his workload was significantly reduced.
In the grand scheme of things it's not really a massive deal other than highlighting the hypocritical misuse of power by a specific politician that consistently makes a big deal about getting value-for-money for the taxpayer.
Don't know if anyone else has noticed or if it has been widely reported and I've missed it, but...
When you report a tweet on Twitter, the process asks you for a reason why the content you're referring should be reviewed. There are various different categories: hate speech, defamation, gore/violence, etc.
I just tried to report a tweet including a demonstrably false and dangerous statement (about miscarriage rates for pregnant women who have been vaccinated against COVID-19), and the previously existing option to report such (I can't remember exactly how it was entitled or described, but it was basically a 'dangerous misinformation' catch-all) has been removed.
This means there is no longer any way to report tweets containing harmful misinformation on Twitter.
Completely unsurprising, and further evidence of what Musk is up to.

Musk and many others love misinformation, disinformation and outright lies. They see it as freedom of speech. Fact checkers are the enemy. People who actually know what they're talking about are the enemy. It's frightening.
Is Parler still a thing? It would be amusing if normal people abandoned twitter and took over one of those tantrum forums for right-wingers.

It isn't about protecting or championing freedom of speech for them though.
It's about normalising the concept of alternative facts, purposefully muddying all waters with a soup of conflicting reports to the extent (in their aims, at least) that the general public is no longer able to discern fact from fiction.
What's left is a populous that struggles more and more to get a grip on what's really happening in the world around them and why, and becomes more and more susceptible to even the most casually-constructed propaganda, leaving those who have the strongest ability to reach, capture and monopolise their attention free to push the narratives serving their own ends.
It's straight out of the fascist playbook, and frighteningly effective, as we've seen with Trump, Bolsonaro, the Brexit campaigns and Johnson's govt, and the media successes of the likes of Fox News.
Freedom of speech, unless that speech is complaining about falsehoods being spread. It’s really freedom from consequence that they value.

Most of them are also hypocrites.
You'll see them on Twitter dragging up something some celeb or other said about unvaccinated people a year or two ago, and they'll be droning on about how they should be 'held accountable' or 'made to pay' for their words.
Is it pretty much a given that the reason Oakeshiiit released these messages was an attempt to discredit the Tories at a time when Rishi made some kind of gain in the goodwill of the British public to make her husbands Reclaim party seem more vote friendly?

Complete one-sided brainwashed nonsense, as per usual.
No mention of SAGE and the ton of crap they came out with which was entirely misleading on many occasions, no mention of CNN doing the exact same crap that FOX does, no mention of Clinton/Democrats with the fake Russian links, no mention of the 2016 election being 'stolen', no mention of Twitter blocking the Hunter Biden story and banning the New York Post.

Labour is in bed with Israel just like the rest of the West
When you stand on Hawara’s main street, now under a sort of curfew – the settler thugs pass by, stopping only to provoke the residents, and the alarmed, frightened faces of women and children peep through the barred windows – your heart knows exactly who you’re with. There’s no dilemma. In your heart, your soul and your values, you’re with the victims.
You have nothing in common with the hoodlums getting out of their cars with their lordly gait and their huge kippas, hissing diabolical remarks at a handful of residents who are frightened to even breathe near them after that night. Hebrew is the only thing left in common between a Jewish Israeli with a remnant of compassion and conscience and those who held a pogrom in the town the previous night. Nor do you have anything in common with the women in their huge headdresses standing at the entrance of a town that isn’t theirs, holding up Israeli flags – the only ones permitted here, guarded by a military vehicle. What are they to me, or I to them?
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.haaretz.com/opinion/2023-03-02/ty-article-opinion/.premium/our-hearts-are-with-the-survivors-of-the-hawara-pogrom/00000186-9ed6-daeb-ad8f-bff701ed0000%3f_amp=true
Haaretz is calling it a pogrom.
It was a pogrom, it was evil and the politician saying it was due to legitimate concerns or whatever belongs in jail
My issue isn't that we can't call out the current Israeli govt for what it is, it's that a Labour opposition, that is the current govt in waiting, would be insane to do so.
It's not just the spectre of antisemitism, it does nothing for the type people who are turning to labour currently

Nor do you have anything in common with the women in their huge headdresses standing at the entrance of a town that isn’t theirs, holding up Israeli flags – the only ones permitted here, guarded by a military vehicle. What are they to me, or I to them?

Haaretz is calling it a pogrom.

It was a pogrom, it was evil and the politician saying it was due to legitimate concerns or whatever belongs in jail
My issue isn't that we can't call out the current Israeli govt for what it is, it's that a Labour opposition, that is the current govt in waiting, would be insane to do so.
It's not just the spectre of antisemitism, it does nothing for the type people who are turning to labour currently

Don't know if anyone else has noticed or if it has been widely reported and I've missed it, but...
When you report a tweet on Twitter, the process asks you for a reason why the content you're referring should be reviewed. There are various different categories: hate speech, defamation, gore/violence, etc.
I just tried to report a tweet including a demonstrably false and dangerous statement (about miscarriage rates for pregnant women who have been vaccinated against COVID-19), and the previously existing option to report such (I can't remember exactly how it was entitled or described, but it was basically a 'dangerous misinformation' catch-all) has been removed.
This means there is no longer any way to report tweets containing harmful misinformation on Twitter.
Completely unsurprising, and further evidence of what Musk is up to.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Musk and many others love misinformation, disinformation and outright lies. They see it as freedom of speech. Fact checkers are the enemy. People who actually know what they're talking about are the enemy. It's frightening.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It isn't about protecting or championing freedom of speech for them though.
It's about normalising the concept of alternative facts, purposefully muddying all waters with a soup of conflicting reports to the extent (in their aims, at least) that the general public is no longer able to discern fact from fiction.
What's left is a populous that struggles more and more to get a grip on what's really happening in the world around them and why, and becomes more and more susceptible to even the most casually-constructed propaganda, leaving those who have the strongest ability to reach, capture and monopolise their attention free to push the narratives serving their own ends.
It's straight out of the fascist playbook, and frighteningly effective, as we've seen with Trump, Bolsonaro, the Brexit campaigns and Johnson's govt, and the media successes of the likes of Fox News.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Complete one-sided brainwashed nonsense, as per usual.
No mention of SAGE and the ton of crap they came out with which was entirely misleading on many occasions, no mention of CNN doing the exact same crap that FOX does, no mention of Clinton/Democrats with the fake Russian links, no mention of the 2016 election being 'stolen', no mention of Twitter blocking the Hunter Biden story and banning the New York Post.
It's only Elon Musk, Trump, Jonhson, Bolsonaro and the Brexit campaigns and Fox that carry out this deliberate misinformation.
Truly, truly sad. #echochamber

Who is being sued by Dominion for their misinfir... Oh fek call it what it is... Lies.
Defend your heroes to the end SatNav. Oh and your post is the definition of whataboutery.

So wait until its convenient to speak against this filthy religious nationalism?
Its a shame that Jews who are against this will as usual be branded as "self-hating".

Haven't Fox News/Tucker Carlson/Sidney Powell all tried the amazing 'the things we say are so ridiculous that no sensible person would believe them' legal defence?
