Incisive oped from former head of cyber security at GCHQ, calling the mass surveillance provision in the UK's Online Safety Bill "a hugely controversial power that damages Britain’s reputation for online security."

Couldn't agree more.

I've never understood why the Libdems don't take advantage of the fact that the Tories and Labour are a little bit shite.

Twitter’s double standards under Elon Musk

There are few indisputable lessons from history, but if there are any it is that virtually no-one would choose to live under autocracy – in the long run – people flee the nation and seek refuge elsewh

@jackLondon @OurFlagUK @rossbright @LibDemCampaigner The one sure way to make sure PR does not happen is for the supporters of the status quo to convince the supporters of PR it won't happen. It is possible Labour will decide to govern for the Country and not Labour, the membership want this, the unions are coming around. Without some form of PR lots of people are disenfranchised by safe seats. It drives a distrust in politics the allows the far right to flourish.

@jackLondon @OurFlagUK @rossbright @LibDemCampaigner I disagree. FPTP entrenches the status quo, which sees us mostly ruled, badly, by the tories, with a minorityof the vote. The brief periods of Labour rule are not enough to make up for the damage the tories do.
