UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has criticized Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, calling it an "absolute disgrace" after it failed to attend a meeting addressing issues like abuse, intimidation, and doxxing—where personal information is shared online without consent. The meeting was organized in response to the harassment faced by RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) volunteers from anti-migrant groups. Nandy expressed frustration that X "didn't even bother to turn up" to the meeting, highlighting her commitment to tackling online harassment. She pointed out that not only are charity workers being targeted, but also shop workers, social workers, and police officers, who face routine online harassment as part of their professional roles. Meanwhile, the UK has seen inflation rise above 3% for the first time in several months. This increase is largely due to rising fuel and transport costs, which have been exacerbated by tensions linked to the Iran war. These economic pressures are adding to the financial strain on many British households, who are already dealing with the aftermath of previous cost-of-living crises. In other news, Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, has returned to work after the recent death of his father. He is scheduled to visit a factory in southeast England in the morning and will also meet with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Oxfordshire. Simon Case, the former Cabinet Secretary, will testify before the Lords constitutional committee on constitutional safeguards at 11:30 am. Later in the day, Alex Burghart, the deputy leader of the Conservative Party, and Victoria Atkins, the shadow environment secretary, will speak at Policy Exchange’s event on Britain and the EU: After the Reset, starting at 12:30 pm. Meanwhile, Ed Davey, the leader of the Liberal Democrats, is conducting interviews with regional media in preparation for his party’s upcoming conference, which begins at the weekend.
