Exclusive: Josh Simons, close ally of Starmer, suggests Musk manipulates platform’s algorithm to boost his own interests

Josh Simons, the MP for Makerfield and former head of the Starmerite thinktank Labour Together, said he believed the British political class was dangerously addicted to the platform, formerly known as Twitter. Simons maintains an active X profile, but says he is keen not to “overuse” it.
