OK, I did a threads as well. But I can't find any of my Twitter followers/ees. Due to technical issues I'm there as "PequenoPortugal." If you can work out how to find people that aren't Shakira (which I currently can't) then I'll see you there!

@notsouniquename @Channel4News Yeah, he maps the sources and reach of disinformation in order to track its flows and how its spread - either organically or with help. Then he uses really cool software to visualise the results. It's really quite impressive.

Elon Musk says he is a free speech advocate, but is using his social media profile on X to promote far-right disinformation and feed a "frenzy" against immigrants, minorities and Muslims, says Marc Owen Jones, a disinformation expert.

@ShowerAbsolute So, they're unintentionally destroying the environment clumsily damaging education in an attempt to deliberately attack social security? Not convinced such a complex message was needed.

@EmmaBurnell_ It raises an interesting challenge for Starmer. Like, whatever Musk says - which is invariably pretty far right and inflammatory - will get media attention. He'll be asked about it repeatedly. How does our PM, with relatively little clout, handle Musk attacking our democracy?

Keir Starmer should block Elon Musk just for the lols. I’m usually a fan of muting over blocking (let the wankers scream into the void). But that would be genuinely interesting.

Is it really too much to expect a journalist to know the basic propaganda language tool that is colloquially termed "JAQing off." Incredibly poor from Swarbrick to engage rather than point out why innuendo - what Faridj was engaged in - is bad faith. So, so poor.

@Ferretgrove How is that GB News guy allowed to tweet that? Adding a small "stay peaceful" disclaimer at the end doesn't absolve him of responsibility for a clear attempt to incite violence via the imagery and language used in the rest of the tweet. Utter madness.

They’re being advertised in private groups Robert Walker of Devon. Alongside information on how to make b0mbs. They are attacks on private businesses, might I suggest that you stay well clear of them, police know where they are and terrorism charges will no doubt follow.

@jdportes @Marksharenews @FraserNelson Nice inclusion of the "untalented rappers" dog whistle as well. First time I've noticed it. I'd also be unsurprised to find much of the Golden Dawn leadership was indeed "house trained" and probably similar to the Reform Ltd leadership in terms of its wealth and backgrounds.

@PolPhilPod Just saw a video of him at the funfair with his daughter. If that's representative then he's every bit as wholesome, nice and - crucially - relatable as I originally thought. Great pick.

@LiberalElite10 I'd also add gender - a lot of the republican messaging is focused on machismo. Walz is very traditionally masculine, but in a fun, wholesome sort of way, a good contrast to the rancid male vibes Vance gives off.

@PolPhilPod Especially when your opponent's campaign is based on pessimism, hatred and fear, having someone that comes across as just plain nice is quite a good contrast.

@peterjukes Goodwin has already been on GB News to use this example to, weirdly, say that ITV doing this is wrong (correct) but that it also (despite being wrong) shows that GB News is correct when it does it with Conservative MPs. Such a massive and ridiculous mistake by ITV. Baffling.

It has also been picked up by transphobes and used to excuse their attending far right marches "we're just opposing two tier policing we don't agree with them on everything"

Ian Dunt@IanDunt

The two-tier policing line started with figures like Tommy Robinson. Was then used by Nigel Farage. And then is picked up by mainstream journalists and raised with the PM and others. As usual, Farage operating as transmission agent between right-wing extreme and mainstream

@jamesjohnson252 If Labour wanted advice from the UK’s Frank Luntz, they would ask. The Tories have left a massive mess, and your Tory friends are praying for chaos instead of uniting behind Labour. You are a pollster, and like Frank Luntz, one who can’t hide the side he’s on.
