The early signs of Andy Burnham’s premiership are not encouraging. He has been handed a blueprint for combating so-called ‘misinformation’ through psychological manipulation, writes Andrew Doyle.
Given that Sir Keir Starmer led the most authoritarian government in living memory, there is no guarantee that his successor will be any better.
Burnham has appointed two former Hope Not Hate members — from an organisation that has repeatedly smeared people with mainstream views as ‘far-right’ — to his team.
The Telegraph has revealed that a report, published in May and commissioned by the Government Office for Science, could influence the new Prime Minister’s approach to online misinformation and free speech.
Andrew says it offers a guide to what it calls the ‘psychological inoculation’ of the public.
Its fundamental ethos is both illiberal and undemocratic, and Burnham must reject it.
The report is beyond Orwellian. It is sinister.

This conversation sparked by the abuse gangs scandal is spiralling into political gossip.
Let's bring it back to what matters: the survivors and getting the action they need.
So far, the government’s response to the demand for a national public inquiry has been to point to the IICSA report.
Bashing Elon Musk's amplification of calls for a public inquiry, Wes Streeting said that we’ve already had a report into grooming gangs so we don’t need another.
But what did the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse actually find out about grooming gangs?
In this thread I'll go through why many victims and campaigners think the report didn't do enough on the gangs.

Hey @elonmusk
This lady, who has already attempted to run a harassment campaign against a man and his steam group for making a list of games SBI was a part of is trying to do it again. She is also lying about them being Nazis too.
Why is this allowed?
