This is such obvious bollocks. The idea that government can police what is “factually correct” on social media is simply laughable.

🗣️ Commons speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle told @MattChorley that “no misinformation, threats or intimidation” should be allowed on social media. We asked X for a reply, and we received an automated response that simply said: “Busy now, please check back later.”

Another classic from the Civil Service job board. Would you like to lead trade negotiations between Switzerland and the UK? Do you have an expert knowledge of global trade and diplomacy? Would you like to be paid many times less than those skills are worth?

London is leading the world in its 24-hour policy with other global cities looking to us for inspiration. London's Night Czar spoke earlier about her role, championing the nighttime economy and representing 1.3m workers.

These people are awful, just going after events they don’t like. Nothing at Glastonbury despite the corporate nature of it and 100s of helicopters, but attacks on pride, snooker and all sorts of random mainstream events.

Ridiculous policy. The correct way to solve this almost totally harmless high would be to provide bins to put the waste in as they do in Switzerland.

Sometimes I can see why NIMBYs oppose certain things, for example a massive abattoir. I simply can’t grasp how anyone could oppose a data centre.

Here are the Chief Inspector's remarks. They are atrocious. Nothing on the death threats. Scolding for the boys. Lots of praise for the mosque and the imam and their "tolerance". What a miserable failure. The government should step in here. 5/5

@Liv_Lever Not sure this is an argument that will survive. If staffers can’t afford a drink at a regular bar then maybe it’s the salaries that are too low. The argument should be about how to make staffer working conditions better.
