Mark Zuckerberg goes MAGA amidst Trump 2.0, Elon Musk, and X | The News Agents

[@benw582]

Really impressed by Wes Streeting. Thoughtful, articulate and respectful. Well done!

[@chrisohanlon69]

He's an idiot

[@icklejack01]

He did well, and is a skilled politician, but I still wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. His sole goal is to be PM, and that would be beyond the pale.

[@bencops]

Agreed, very impressive

[@bobstephenson8747]

Zuck’s statement reminds me of the Groucho Marx quote, ‘I’ve got values, I’ve got principles, and if you don’t like them, well, I’ve got some more!!’

[@johnconnolly3516]

Funny, in a different scenario.

[@gostepsenglish4431]

So, it was OK when he was kow-towing to the democrats. Like with Musk, or Rogan.

This is getting crazier by the day. The fact that this is all designed to appease Trump and his threats should give you an idea of where life and democracy in America is heading.

Love the discussion with Wes Streeting, almost seemed like you got answers to your questions rather than a hastely prepared & memorised written statement. Emily, brilliant as always & then we come to Lewis...........Every time the camera panned to Lewis I got a 'Something about Mary' vibe. Very distracting!

[@mrhobsonschoice]

Labour can no longer dance around the Musk issue. Streeting is skirting around the problems. Unless they start taking action it will be too late for democracy in the UK

Facts are facts, there should be no political bias, imo.

[@highmillpickering2470]

The wording of the amendment that Tories etc voted for FIRST killed progress of the whole child protection bill, so the call for a public inquiry was therefore irrelevant

My hope is that these sites just get banned outside of the USA. Let them be an American phenomenon that exist only in the USA and we can create our own with our own regs

[@gostepsenglish4431]

And what would those regs be? Sounds like you want a platform controlled by your own beliefs. Doesn't sound very free.

[@gostepsenglish4431]

Basically, the snooze agents relate everything to Trump, instead of actually discussing the issues.

[@gostepsenglish4431]

Also, it is hysterical that these blowhards blather on about 'misinformation', when they peddle more of it than most.

More like a Gadarine conversion. But the Tories came into existence with the Tamworth declaration.

[@jamest5149]

Why not read out the amendment, this would actually add merit and show the propaganda / misinformation around the vote… find and read it, then present the amendment, then you can discuss and actually add value to the discourse 🤷‍♂️ Your position and reporting here just helps Reform/Conservative narrative, as you mentioned the twitter feeds being alive with names of Labour MP’s who voted against this amendment!

You Need agents are in danger of becoming a media watching ourobouros. Too much focus on names, personalities. And confusing the opinions of a few newspaper columnists with public opinion.

[@chiefnama790]

Wes streeting would not be talking about this issue if it wasn't for the "American who tweeted about it." Why was it only after that did he start talking about these victims that he cared so much about?

[@tigerlily5318]

I don't mean to undermine what was done by people in North, child protection is very complicated 1 in 6 person in Britain has interest in underage persons and 91% of grooming is done by white person usually known to the family, this is not from top of my head these statistics were released by authorities which you can verify, I hope and think it is sincerely for child protection and not for political interest of certain politicians to use for their party interest.

[@crystalclean9775]

I find it funny these journos are so appalled by US politics but fail to mention the absolute obliteration of the UK's economy by their beloved Labour government. The pound alone lost almost 10% purchasing power against the dollar in 6 months, government bond yields spiralling out of control signalling total distrust by the markets in the future of the country. Small businesses being crushed between wage inflation, taxation and over regulation. We became a country who rewards those unwilling to work and punishes those who create value. The state is now an overwhelming cancerous burden on the private sector. Congratulations!

[@icklejack01]

lol 🤣 And no I'm not a Labour supporter or voter!

[@scottsaunders5087]

😂😂 cause it went so well under the conservatives maybe we can bring back Truss 🤪
