Some interesting news coverage analyses with Ground News:
At the Liberal Democrats’ conference in Bournemouth, party leader Sir Ed Davey warned that Nigel Farage wants to turn Britain into “Trump’s America,” invoking images of looser gun laws and schools preparing for mass shootings.
The left cast Davey’s remarks as a moment of confidence, underscoring how the Lib Dems are enjoying a surge in popularity and reshaping the political landscape as a credible moderate force.
The right, instead, zeroed in on Davey’s rhetoric, painting it as sensationalist and irrational — an over-the-top attempt to smear Farage by dragging U.S.-style culture war fears into British politics.
That kind of polarised coverage is exactly why Ground News exists. With over 45 outlets reporting this story, it’s the most practical way to expose spin before we mistake it for fact.

Do we have a realistic view of how social credit actually works in China? Presumably there are people who are able to work around it. Do we know how easy that is?
Can you ask Silkie why the government hasn’t considered elderly people and their carers in their ID plans? Old people can’t use smart phones and even now without Digital ID there are issues with shopping, medical etc for more than one household.
PS: The government doesn’t care and wants expensive old people to die early. Just my view.
