It took me less than 25 minutes to set up a fake anonymous Apple ID using a VPN and disposable email, attach a masked debit card to it (with the address being Twitter's HQ), and get a verified account for a prominent figure. Just think what a nation-state or bad actor could do...

Yesterday was my last day at Twitter: the entire Human Rights team has been cut from the company. I am enormously proud of the work we did to implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights, to protect those at-risk in global conflicts & crises including Ethiopia,

The Bank of England’s expectation that the British economy will be shrinking till mid 2024, as the interest rate it sets is on couse to rise from 3% today to 4.75% in coming months, means Sunak and Hunt face the two most stressful weeks of their political lives. Here’s why 1/8

Recently I learned about a man who has trained 1,000+ people to block wind and solar projects. I read through all his training materials, presentations, and seminars. Here's what I learned about him and how his students plan to "win the war on clean energy." 🧵

1/ When @SuellaBraverman took office she would be briefed on the fact that one in six terror convicts in the UK is far-right. The core ideology driving them is fear that "invasion" by migrants is a form of "white genocide". Here's Renaud Camus - Great Replacement - 2012...

1/ Why are antivaxxers addicted to being fed half truths? Today's stupid talking point is that the EU ordered 10x as many vaccine doses as they had population. DUN DUN DUN what vile machinations. what a betrayal of the public trust

Getting rid of Thérèse Coffey as Health Secretary was essential. She was dangerous with her shocking and reckless comments on antibiotics, and her total inability to do the job. But making her Environment Secretary?? No!! 😱😱

4/ They must also U-turn on solar. Rishi Sunak spent the summer peddling the myth that solar panels were consuming our land, when just 0.1% is used for solar panels. This risks blocking 10 nuclear power stations worth of solar energy. telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

Sorry to repeat myself, but you *really* need to know this. Under the government's Public Order Bill, anyone who has protested in the previous 5 years can be forced to "submit to ... being fitted with, or the installation of, any necessary apparatus" to monitor your movements.
