Good morning! ☀️ Who else is at GROWMORROW festival in Oldenburg today? 👋🏻 I am speaking on the main stage at 16:00h. Topic: Trust your feed - can Europe reinvent social media? Happy to meet you for coffee afterwards! ☕️
Super NHK News sit-down!🌟 The dialogue is a voyage of discovery.🚀 Yes. There’s fear in the Age of AI.😨 But we the people are truly the superintelligence & can conquer it — together!🤝 📰 news.web.nhk/newsweb/na/n... ▶️ youtu.be/h3VWa6lpqAU 🔎 archive.tw/2026-07-29-n... #LLAP🖖
Why should anyone be allowed to be legally paid less than the minimum wage? The minimum wage as it is is already below a living wage. This government is allowing business to lower standards and wages for everyone. #EndSubMinWage
Bon dia #WSocial friends and family. ☀️ How is everyone getting along on this taco 🌮 Tuesday? #Mia, #Peanut, and I wish everyone peace, love, and tranquility. 💗 Wherever in the world you are stay safe out there. 🌏 #Animals #Cats
Flash floods on the Chinese-Tibetan border. 160 casualties. Clips released by the authorities, obtained by Reuters. It’s hard to believe this is real, looks like a scene from a natural disaster movie #China #Tibet
The W merch just arrived!! 👏🏻🧢🤩
Dolly Parton's legacy extends beyond her extraordinary music. She touched countless lives through her generosity, including through her Imagination Library in London, bringing the joy of reading to children across the capital. My thoughts are with her loved ones and fans around the world.
Pleased that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will attend the @europarl.europa.eu Plenary Session in Strasbourg in September. He will be a guest of honour at the State of the Union debate by @ec.europa.eu President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu, before his formal address to MEPs 🇪🇺🇨🇦
My trip to Tokyo is drawing nearer. Tokyo holds a special place in my heart as the city where I spent four years of university. Even in an era when we can communicate with others online regardless of location, there is a distinct joy in traveling somewhere in person.
If you want to use W icons and elements on other social platforms or blogs, here's the social media kit for ya 🤫🤠 W social media kit drive.proton.me/urls/5239RAX... Make sure you read the "How to use the W logotype" document first.
🙏 Our deepest condolences go to the families who have lost loved ones in the devastating floods along the #Nepal–Tibet border. Our thoughts are with the missing, the injured and all affected communities, including European citizens among the many foreign travellers caught in the disaster.
On my way home from the office after a few very intense days for both W and We Don’t Have Time. Tired, excited, and deeply thankful for our incredible communities and all the support. So much is happening and so much still to build. Then Stockholm gives you an evening like this. ❤️

Day one of my book research trip: Viking fun!
My Paradox of the day. "If you don't know whether you're right or wrong, you can't confidently be called right. If you think you're right, you might discover you're wrong. Once you realise you were wrong, you now know the truth, so in knowing that you were wrong, you're right about being wrong"

BALKANS VOICES WORTH FOLLOWING I built a Starter Pack of journalists, researchers and organisations covering politics, people, democracy and daily life. Who should I add? Thank you @ingmar.wsocial.eu for supporting community-built lists. wsocial.eu/starter-pack...
Devastating floods have struck communities in Nepal and China. My thoughts are with all those affected, especially the families who have lost loved ones or are still waiting for news. We also share a thought for the brave first responders.
Harari raises the questions that matter about AI, social media and the public square, and the implications he draws out are genuinely insightful. One hour with The Economist, well worth it, as are his books. 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/7cRw... ▶️ youtu.be/FNZhxTtOL-I #AI #SocialMedia #PublicSquare
As children return to school this September, I know many parent carers and families will need some support and advice. If you would like to book an appointment, please email my office at: matt.bishop.mp@parliament.uk
A great Ipswich Labour team out in Bridge on Saturday morning. Thank you to all the people who took the time to speak to us.

One last message from #Stockholm Central Station #EndFossilFuelNow #MakeScienceGreatAgain ⚠️🔥🌎
Synes det er spændende, at K foreslår hjælp til stofbrugere fremfor straf i dag. Da SF foreslog det, stemte K i mod i Folketinget! Men måske er der mere humane tanker på vej i forhold til udsatte - også i blå blok: www.ft.dk/samling/2022...
Der Krieg Russlands gegen Europa ist nicht mehr hybrid, nur noch etwas (schlecht) verdeckt.

We mapped the social media activity of over 10,000 public voices across Europe to see which platforms they use as their primary communication channels. The findings highlights our dependency on non-europeans companies.
Explore the dataReal people.
Privacy first.
You can be verified as a human anonymously, or choose to share your real name. Your identity is yours. Always.
You identify yourself through W Identity, a separate app that scans your passport or national identity card and verifies you directly on your own device. You stay in control of what you share with other apps and services. Your ID data is stored only on your device unless you choose to share specific parts of it.
W gives you two options: appear with your full name or verified as a human anonymously. In both cases, you verify through W Identity, so W can confirm that you are a real, unique person. If you choose to stay anonymous, your full identity stays private, while verified attributes such as age verification and nationality help build trust and reduce fake accounts.
Access to your W Social account is controlled by a secure list of approved devices. If you lose one of these devices, it can be disconnected from your W Social account. Disconnecting a device will prevent it from accessing your account. You can then re-verify on a new device.
W is built on the AT-Protocol, an open standard for global social networking.
