Someone's running anonymous anti-Sadiq Khan Instagram ads in London this week, and they're (so far) evading Meta's political ad library and political advertiser verification process. But who?
"How Far Trump Would Go." @EricCortellessa scores two interviews with Donald Trump for @TIME, asking him to explain what he'd do in a second term. Read here: time.com/6972021/donald…
A synopsis:
1/ Thread of random things to keep in mind when reading these and other stories about the border this week as the UK attempts to start actually enforcing its own regulatory checks.

"Sewage off Hayling Island puts windsurfer at risk of fatal septic infection."
It's going to be a long week for the water industry. I can just feel it.

When people who have arrived in the UK seeking safety are told that they will be detained and deported this becomes inevitable. The reality is that this will put more people at risk of exploitation and abuse.

This is the only tweet about Sangita that I can find from a senior British journalist. Bravo Channel 4 and Lindsey for asking what is an extremely important question.
All the others, why the silence?

@pranman Every day we see journalists risking - and often losing - their lives to report from Gaza. @LBC colleagues not even risking their next latte keep quiet.
The strange thing about both Belle and Sangita is the lack of activity on their Twitter accounts. It's not just that they are taken off front-line duties - they are silenced across all platforms.

I was unaware about @belledonati - now that I AM aware, I want to know what in Hell is going on.
Are we, as a country, now silencing those who ask questions?

What bothers me most about the silencing of Belle and Sangita is that none of their colleagues have made a public comment about it. This silence from their colleagues, many of whom are quite famous journalists, speaks volumes about their lack of courage or commitment.

It's chilling that two women journalists who have challenged Israeli government spokespeople have vanished completely from MSM. Just how much power does Israel have over our news media? Enough to make them disappear - What else are they controlling?
What's actually going on?
This is categorically incorrect. There are Americans who've lived in London for 20 years and still call themselves expats. They're never going back.
Let's accept the term "expat" for what it is, it is a sign of assumed privilege.

Many anti-ulez and anti-LTN groups have become a meeting point for all sorts of racists, nasties and conspiracy theorists.
It affords them cover where they can spew out hatred and filth against Sadiq Khan while seemingly making it about traffic.
