Hi @TfL I buzzed in at St Albans station this morning 3 times, to get to Farringdon. You have taken £30 but an error code wouldn’t let me through. I went to the ticket office and paid Thameslink @TLRailUK ANOTHER £30 for paper ticket. Pls can you send me the online repayment form

This week’s riots aren’t happening in a vacuum. We’re living and breathing on platforms that billionaires have optimised for outrage. This is the world that social media made. My piece for @ObserverUK with contributions from the great @mariaressa + more theguardian.com/media/articl…

‘A polarisation engine’: how social media has created a ‘perfect storm’ for UK’s far-right riots

Algorithms that send the most outrageous comments viral and a chain reaction of anger and disinformation made the riots that followed the Southport killings inevitable
