If people are going to do cease and desist letters for everything a MoP says about another member of parliament and call for defamatory letters to be sent they'll be 25 sent every Wednesday at PMQs alone.

I have found the Tory party have gone very scrambling around in the dark and clutching at straws because I think they know they stuffed themselves the past 4 years.

For the party that will happily make statements about others support peadophiles etc they haven't been happy about it being done back!

I don't agree with some of the memes that were made by Labour and have no issue with Tory's doing it back because I believe "what's good for the goose". Clearly something Truss doesn't have the stomach for!

He can say it in Parliament.

And people can say it elsewhere. I think it's an example of the Streisand effect.

That’s exactly how #LizTrusscrashedtheeconomy ended up trending on Twitter earlier. Somebody should probably have sent her a link to the Wiki page on Streisand effect.

Can 2025 please slow down with the batshit. We’re only 9 days in and Trump hasn’t even been inaugurated yet.

Fuckung hell, her lawyers saw her coming. How much do you think they charged for that drivel?

Yeah do all the people to get into a legal tangle with I wouldn't chance my arm with Sir Keir. I don't agree with everything he says and does but there's no denying he's a bloody good lawyer!

Me too. It's a breath of fresh air. 💙 At least we can disagree here without launching personal attacks on each other.

BustingBaoBun · 09/01/2025 16:06

The cease and desist Truss thing is comedy gold! I was listening to two or three political editors on Radio5Live earlier and they said she had really shot herself in the foot with this. They could barely contain their mirth!

Generally it's easy to spot and ignore bad faith posters. Engaging merely encourages them.

We really need to start to examine the issues around LLMs being unwittingly crafted to deliberately emit misinformation as part of their "training". Not so much because we can't deal with it, but more because I suspect they can't.

It may be HALs psychosis was one of Arthur C Clarkes most chilling insights.

"This conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye."

That line from HAL could come in useful on MN...

Which leads into the next thing my algorithm decided I needed to see

The UKs secret weapon against Musk. It only needs to be deployed once - he doesn't have the smarts to deal with our second dimmest citizen (after Liz Truss, naturally)

Strarmer needs to give her the Arkell v Pressdram response.

Starmer apologises.

hehe - I was just thinking the same. Maybe I've missed a page but it doesn't seem to threaten any further action, just says please stop doing X, it was the BoE fault and Andrew Lilico agrees with me.

I mean its one way to get your name in to the news cycle but it wouldn't have been my first choice.

I just looked at Truss' twitter. Someone needs to stage an intervention or at least take her phone off her. She is unwell.

When history is written, her place as a deep double agent of socialism, planted to pop up and steal the oxygen of publicity from right wing cunts like Elon Musk and Nigel Farage will finally be revealed.

(I think Andrew Tate has been activated too soon. He's an obvious double agent designed to trick Musk.)

BIossomtoes · 09/01/2025 17:18

Oh dear. She really is poorly.

Um, did I miss something? Wasnt it the Conservative party that removed her and wasnt it Sunak and Hunt that reversed her policies?

BIossomtoes · 09/01/2025 18:59

I love the bit about civility between senior politicians - does she not realise she’s not a politician any more, let alone a senior one? I know she looked completely out of it when her constituency result was announced but surely she knows she was kicked out.

bombastix · 09/01/2025 19:23

Guess she sent her CV to Elon Musk saying she was available any time for a ketamine drip twitter evening session

Perhaps they can send her a cease and desist letter for defaming them that they were the ones who trashed the economy 😉

This made me giggle so much I stated a coughing fit and DS was torn between asking me if o was alright and asking me what was so funny 🫣

littledrummergirls · 09/01/2025 23:13

I'm just watching newsnight and they have some dick head from Austin Texas- Joe Lonsdale.

Fucking uninformed, idiot bothering on about British politics as though he is an expert. He's definitely more than a few sandwiches short of a picnic. The wild fires in California are the fault of the radical left, Jess Phillips has never met with victims of abuse, America is amazing on climate change. He is very much for free speech so will have no issue with me exercising mine to say he's a nutcase. A pathetic, ridiculous excuse of disgusting and shallow bollocks.

Respect to Faisal for not laughing.in his face. It was such an awful interview it was funny. He can't really be stupid enough to believe half of the shit he was shovelling. It was definitely an insight into Trumps inner circle- America is screwed.

BIossomtoes · 10/01/2025 10:39

It was beyond awful. The stunned expressions of the panel at the end were a sight to behold. And that awful vulpine grin of his …. As you say, the US is absolutely screwed.
