I've enjoyed Twitter very much, but I think Zoe's wonderful neologism 'enshitification' is a very apt description of what has happened to it under its current owner. There's less and less that's interesting and more irrelevant (to me) crap and tendentious argument.

Zoe Williams recent article in Guardian about this platform captures the concerns I've had for a while very well. theguardian.com/technology/art… It has prompted me to take the decision to pack it in here. I'll be at Bluesky for a bit to see how it goes.

It looks a lot like Starmer's Israeli paymasters didn't take kindly to the withdrawal of some arms export licenses and are sending a shot across the bows by giving him a taste of the Corbyn treatment.

Keir must abjectly and repeatedly apologise for his antisemitism, interviewers must hound him on the issue, Panorama should ask whether Labour is still antisemitic, and the EHRC should investigate the government for antisemitism, and put them into special measures.

The Torygraph's relentless campaign of slagging off the new government every day in disobliging articles has now sunk to calling Ed Miliband "Milipede". How un-funny is that? A new low .. Milipede is entering the realm of Alice in Wonderland telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…

If you want the case for abolition of the House of Lords in a nutshell, it's Michelle Mone, Shaun Bailey, Ben Houchen and Evgeny Lebedev. And Charlotte Owen.

I can't bear these mawkish vox pops. We know people have suffered. What point is there in asking people to rehearse their grief?

Evan Davis to #GrenfellTower survivor: "I want to know how often you think about that night, how much it haunts you". The answer to that is bloody obvious but interviewer ghouls always have to poke the trauma. #bbcpm

Well, it doesn't beggar my belief, so not sure what he's driving at. Furthermore, belief is a low state of consciousness which is confined to people not in possession of facts.

Just so we're all on the same page here: Britain's chief rabbi is calling for the UK to trash international law, and ignore its own officials' advice that Israel is using British weapons to commit war crimes. He's demanding that the UK facilitate genocide. So we're all clear.

Today’s deaths in the channel are a tragedy, as everyone is saying. But it was also entirely avoidable. If those wishing to apply for asylum here were given ferry tickets the deaths would end, the criminal gangs would have no market and a fortune in costs would be saved. So, why not do this when we know nothing is going to stop the boats?
