Snap

The Police and the NSPCC confirm that the platforms for recording sexual offences against children are Snapchat 54 per cent, Instagram 11 per cent, Facebook seven per cent, WhatsApp six to nine per cent, and  X one to two per cent. In any case, Indonesia has blocked Grok specifically, so that can be done. Keir Starmer just does not want to.

Next up, then, the only social medium for the British Government, and for anyone who wanted to keep in with it, will be owned and run by the Tony Blair Institute in lieu of the digital ID scheme, Blair's second failed attempt at that sort of thing. It should be called Lies Social.

But plans for identity cards go back at least to John Major and Michael Howard, whose Minister of State was Ann Widdecombe, while the nearest that we have ever come to them has been the vaccine passports introduced by Nadhim Zahawi under the same Boris Johnson several of whose other close allies have also joined Reform UK.

Having been denied a peerage by Rishi Sunak, Naddie D of the Online Safety Act attached herself to Nigel Farage before Naddie Z, who was himself denied a peerage by the same Kemi Badenoch who had denied a Shadow Cabinet portfolio to Danny Kruger. If Johnson had made good on his promise to Farage of a peerage, probably leading to a Cabinet position, in return for the Brexit Party's having stood down in the 317 seats that had gone into the 2019 General Election with incumbent Conservative MPs, then there would have been no Reform.
