Sad that Musk has the money to destroy Twitter. Personally I don't give an xx what he ends up calling it.
The most accurate & incisive thing you'll read about HS2 all week... https://capx.co/hs2-is-making-britain-an-international-laughing-stock/
HS2 is making Britain an international laughing stock

It’s finally official: HS2 is ‘unachievable’, according to the UK’s Infrastructure and Projects Authority. That doesn’t mean the project isn’t still happening, or that it won’t cost us billions, it just means that years – decades, probably – ahead of its launch we know it isn’t going to deliver what we need from it.

Sir John Bell and Sir David King among leading scientists to argue UK is no better prepared than it was in 2020, as new variant in India causes concern

Twitter seems to be becoming a sink for Right wing views. My timeline is fuller than previously with unpleasant views, inelegantly expressed.
Let's examine #Lineker's claims. He said “…language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s.” This reminded me of the UKIP pro-Brexit poster from 2016 which drew comparisons to Nazi anti-immigrant propaganda: https://www.indy100.com/news/people-think-ukip-s-new-antieu-poster-resembles-outright-nazi-propaganda-7299841 Braverman's rhetoric around an "invasion" of immigrants is a direct descendent of that messaging. And Holocaust survivors have previously called her out on it. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jan/14/suella-braverman-wont-apologise-to-holocaust-survivor-for-calling-migrants-invasion So what we have here is someone stating demonstrably true things.

We have a government that can only find time for the wrong issues. For example: rather than try to increase public turnout for elections they legislate for ID cards to deal with non-existent voter fraud making voting more difficult!

“James Cleverly MP and Minister of state just now … asking me who funds me to bring down the government? I personally feel they are doing a great job of it for themselves. #Partygate #CorruptTories”
