@BenWallace70 @LukeGaughan @tomhfh This is an absolutely Trump level of ignorance.

@LukeGaughan @tomhfh well for one the people who love encryption most are pedophiles. Even the US has a law ( dating way back) that forces platforms to proactively hand over some data.

BREAK: Absolutely horrific news for iPhone users in the UK. Apple is removing its highest level data security tool from customers in the UK, after the government demanded access to user data. This is a move that Apple has never made before in any market.

When you see this man what’s first thing you think of

@GeromanAT @RnaudBertrand @apocalypseos Because, first of all, it isn't a NATO proxy war. It isn't even a war all of NATO is aligned on. Secondly, just because something is a proxy war for us does not mean it isn't a real war for Ukrainians; it is simply also strategically beneficial for us to back them.

@RnaudBertrand @apocalypseos Funny - when we said that it is a NATO proxy war we were called Russian trolls...

Wow, this has got to be one of the most 'saying the quiet part out loud' statements since the start of the Ukraine war. Boris Johnson: 'Mate, let's face it... We're waging a proxy war! We're waging a proxy war but we're not giving our proxies the ability to do the job. And for years and years we've been allowing them to fight with one hand tied behind their backs and it has been cruel. It has been cruel and moral...' He obviously meant to say 'morally wrong' there at the end... I still remember the time when suggesting - as John Mearsheimer or Jeffrey Sachs (or, more humbly, myself) have done since the beginning - that this was a proxy war of the West against Russia was considered 'Russian propaganda'... Johnson is saying the West has been cruel to Ukrainians. Which is absolutely correct, but not because we've only 'been allowing them to fight with one hand tied behind their backs' as he suggests, but for the very fact we've used them as proxies in a war that could a) have been prevented or, save that, b) could have been shut down early on. All resulting in hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian casualties. The only 'pro-Ukraine' position has always been and will always be that of those - like Mearsheimer or Sachs - who've always called out Western instrumentalization of Ukraine. That's what's always been cruel and morally wrong, and Johnson has a lot to answer for in this regard.

@SwishDiggler @BBCNewsnight @vicderbyshire In what respect was it leading? It used his own words - which applied directly to the situation at hand - against him, and completely cornered him into trying to bluster and crowd-please his way out of it.

@BBCNewsnight @vicderbyshire Very leading questions but clarkson was brilliant

“So it’s not about you, it’s not about your farm and the fact you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax?” @vicderbyshire speaks to Jeremy Clarkson at the farmers’ protest in Westminster where thousands of farmers are protesting the government’s inheritance tax plans.

@WilliamClouston That's not very social democratic of you.

BBC attacks the person rather than discussing the issues… Well batted Clarkson 👏🏏

@AdrianYalland @JeremyClarkson He does what? Feigns ignorance on camera about something he himself wrote a column about..?

Just when you think you can’t love @JeremyClarkson any more than you do, he does this.

@LowbankBaron @cowmanpete @JeremyClarkson Indeed! You could have, for example, lied about writing an article for The Times three years ago in which you admitted to buying a farm to avoid inheritance tax.

@cowmanpete @JeremyClarkson Must be so difficult in front of the cameras unscripted. I would have said something incorrect.

As someone working with him, he does care!! We’re lucky to have him on our side! Some will disagree but they don’t work with him or know him, everyone is entitled to their opinion?!🤷‍♂️ well done @JeremyClarkson

@harrywe26805243 @GrausGer @BBCNewsnight @vicderbyshire @JeremyClarkson It comes from polls like these: fwi.co.uk/news/eu-refere…

@GrausGer @BBCNewsnight @vicderbyshire @JeremyClarkson Where does this farmer's voted for Brexit 🐂💩 originate? They were one of the most vocal collective Remain voices.

@AdamLowisz @elonmusk @MarioNawfal Left-wing authoritarian government..? Whatever fantasy land you lads are living in, we don't want it.

@elonmusk @MarioNawfal We stand with the people of the UK who are fighting their left-wing authoritarian government. Thank you Elon for fighting for human rights such as freedom of speech. Free speech will win! 👏🇬🇧

UK SNUBS ELON BECAUSE HE CRITICIZED OPPRESSION OF FREE SPEECH Elon has not been invited to the UK government's International Investment Summit because of his posts during recent riots that saw people jailed for comments they made online. The summit in October is the key moment that PM Keir Starmer hopes to attract tens of billions in inward funding for business from the world's biggest investors. Elon attended last year's event and took a starring role in the AI Summit, including a fireside chat with then PM Rishi Sunak. Source: BBC

@IronHeaver @kamilabderrahmn @jk_rowling She didn't fail a sex test, she failed a test for higher than normal levels of testosterone in women, which many women have. That's it. That was the entire test.

@kamilabderrahmn @jk_rowling Mauresmo and Williams are both mothers. Khelif failed a sex test run by the International Boxing Association.

Could any picture sum up our new men’s rights movement better? The smirk of a male who’s knows he’s protected by a misogynist sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head, and whose life’s ambition he’s just shattered. #Paris2024

@SM23094607 @A1an_M @UKHSA I'm living proof that you can pump full of vaccines and have absolutely no adverse affects, but if you want to live a pointlessly-shortened lifespan then be my guest.

@A1an_M @CJKay93 @UKHSA It's always amusing to read ye olde adverse events are rare excuse, which has been used for decades. But unsurprising given the lucrativeness of vaccines, especially if you can get it on some kind of schedule.

The UK will become the first country in the world to roll out a national vaccination programme against Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), protecting infants & older people from becoming seriously ill. RSV accounts for 39,000 hospitalisations each year. gov.uk/government/new…

@ReeceIsRanting @JoshuaH92072155 @tburling @RachelReevesMP You'll never get Reform into government with that attitude, Quisling.

@JoshuaH92072155 @tburling @RachelReevesMP I could not care if Russia took over Ukraine. Simply do not care.

Today I am beginning the process to appoint a Covid Corruption Commissioner to get back what is owed to the British people. The work of change has begun. theguardian.com/politics/artic…

@A1an_M @UKHSA Knowing is how you get it through clinical trials. We know that fewer than one in ten suffer any side effects at all, and the majority of side effects are mild to moderate (headache, myalgia and pain at the injection site) and last no more than a few days.

@CJKay93 @UKHSA OK. So the risk of RSV for the mother is zero. Let's assume for now that is correct. What is the risk to her of autoimmune disease caused by adjuvants or other ingredients in the vaccine? We don't know, do we ?

@A1an_M @UKHSA How do you propose you do a coinfection study when there is no coinfection? The mother is not the one at risk of RSV here.

@CJKay93 @UKHSA So we need to include the mother in the total health assessment of the vaccine as well as the child. Good point.

@A1an_M @UKHSA Abrysvo is administered to the mother during pregnancy, not to the child.

What is the total health impact of deploying these vaccines? Vaccine testing typically only focuses on the efficacy of the vaccine against the specific illness it's supposedly protecting against. But even if this vaccine is effective against RSV, does it make children more susceptible to other illnesses and is it a net positive for their health overall? What studies have done on the impact on the entire health of children following vaccination (compared with a placebo) and over what period? For example we know that influenza vaccination can make people more susceptible to infection by other respiratory infections like coronaviruses. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31607599/

@JAugustine02 @sportdinw @EdKrassen @america_mad NATO expands at the will of joining members. If Ukraine doesn't want to join NATO then it won't. If Ukraine does want to join NATO then as a sovereign, independent state it is not the right of any third state to decide otherwise.

WOW. History Dr. Timothy Snyder just completely debunked and embarrassed Marjorie Taylor Greene after she kept pushing the narrative of Nazis in Ukraine. “On the question of Nazis, I’ve written two books as a historian about Nazis and the holocaust. On the question of Ukrainian nationalism, I am the leading scholar of that subject in North America. I’ve been writing about it for 20 years. "If the chamber is interested in the degree of far right participation in Ukrainian politics, you can be assured that no far right party has every surpassed 3% in a Ukrainian election. So of course there are bad people in any country but by any comparative standard, it’s a very small phenomenon. "In Russia, on the other hand, the army includes openly Nazi formations… The government, itself, is fascist in character, and is carrying out a war that includes the deportation of children by the 10s of thousands, the open intention of destroying a state, as well as mass torture. "So if we’re looking for fascism, and if there is anyone who is sincerely concerned about halting fascism or racism, you’d look to halt Russia."

@NeilDotObrien - The resumption of safe shipping through the Red Sea - As far as necessary - Retreat into an isolationist ball and ignore the world outside of our borders

Not necessarily against this but given our main interventions of the last 25 years have been failures, let's be clear up front: - What counts as success? - Realistically, how far wd we need to go to achieve this? - How will we avoid being dragged into something we don't want?

@Diana4441_ @ahemmingsendk The heck gave you the impression that they weren't?

@w_t_payne @svpino You're being ripped off if anybody is paying you £50k for head of anything.

@svpino In the UK I earn around £50,000 with job titles like 'Head of AI', or 'Lead AI/ML developer'. I'm guessing salaries in the US for similar roles would be around 3x that amount.

I have many friends in the U.S. and Europe. We all work in tech. High-paying jobs. All of my US friends can afford a vacation in Europe once a year. No sweat. None of my European friends can. Doing it once is a stretch. Once per year is out of the question. Anecdotical evidence, I know, but lifestyles are very different.

@CallahanAutoCo @trash9876543 @FluddePeter @elonmusk @ThierryBreton You couldn't fact check if your life depended on it. The idea that community notes is a reliable source of fact-checking is absolutely hilarious, though.

@trash9876543 @FluddePeter @elonmusk @ThierryBreton We can fact check and add community notes which is even more transparent. I’d rather see more information than less…I can make up my own mind
