The $8 War of the Blue Checks is heating up.

Forget crime, energy, immigration, inflation. It’s Twitter’s tweets that are keeping President Joe Biden up at night.

Katie Hopkins, 47, has been making plans to travel around the country, but has since had to scrap one date on her upcoming live theatre tour after just 24 hours thanks to a backlash from furious locals.The cancellation was prompted after a petition created by local residents where she planned to take her show for one date said she was not welcome in their town.Katie was initially booked to host Katie Hopkins Live in 2023 at the Bedford Corn Exchange, Bedford, some time next year. However, local residents launched a petition against the former Apprentice contestant and accused her of being "Islamophobic and homophobic".The petition to stop Katie from coming to Bedford, which began on a website called 38 Degrees, gained 50 signatures calling for her show to be cancelled within 24 hours.The next day, a Bedford Borough Council spokesperson announced that the event had been cancelled on the grounds that it did not support the city's diverse community.According to The Mirror, the petition read: “[Katie Hopkins] is well known for her Islamophobic, homophobic speeches and rants…“She does not belong in our proudly multi-racial, diverse town.

“Well Twitter…it’s been real, and it’s been fun. But the end hasn’t been real fun,” wrote one former employee from the company’s Global Wellness team last night. He was among the estimated 3,700 of the company’s 7,500 or so employees being laid off by new owner Elon Musk this week.

As Twitter employees face mass layoffs starting today, new overlord Elon Musk says the platform has seen “a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers.”

Piers later took to Twitter to hit out at Amber, as he suggested she should "stop playing the victim" in her first TV interview since the trial.Speaking to NBC’s Savannah Guthrie about social media representation, Amber said: "You cannot tell me that you think that this has been fair.”Sharing a sneak peek of the interview in his tweet, Piers lashed out: “The jurors didn’t read any of the social media stuff, they listened to the evidence & concluded she was lying.“I suggest it’s time for Ms Heard to stop playing the victim.”His claims divided other social media users, who replied to his post stating their views.JandEsdad said: “Image if Depp had lost..would they put him on TV as the victim? We all know the answer would be no.”Oce4n4 claimed: “She really cannot face the fact that she was absolutely miserable on the stand and her evidence don't match the accounts of DV she allegedly suffered.That's why she lost, not because of ‘power and fame’.” (sic)Following the verdict from the jury, a statement issued by Amber's representatives read: "The disappointment I feel today is beyond words. I'm heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence, and sway of my ex-husband."I’m even more disappointed with what this verdict means for other women.

Twitter has reportedly sent out a company-wide email warning its estimated 7,500 employees that layoffs will start Friday.

TalkTV host Piers Morgan, 57, excitedly shared the news that he had hit eight million followers on his Twitter account this afternoon. In celebration of the significant milestone, the former Good Morning Britain presenter suggested that Elon Musk, 51, who recently purchased Twitter, should help him celebrate the achievement. Just after 2PM today, Piers Tweeted out to his large fanbase: “BREAKING: I now have eight million followers."He then added: “P.S.

Gary Lineker, 61, spoke openly on The News Agents podcast where he said that Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover could have a negative impact as he drew attention to the fine line between freedom of speech and hate speech.The Match of the Day presenter said that the CEO of Tesla Motors needs to be very careful before saying that in his opinion Elon, 51, isn’t that good at Twitter anyway.“He is kind of a strange chap,” Gary started by saying to podcast presenters Lewis Goodall and Emily Maitlis.“If you are going to spend 40 odd billion on Twitter you ought to be really good at tweeting but I have not been overly impressed so far.”Chuckling to himself, Gary went on to say that he was unsure if the policy of paying $8 a month (£7) for individuals to keep their blue tick was “actually going to be a thing”.Seemingly unbothered about keeping his verified blue tick or not, Emily then posed the question to Gary if he thinks that Twitter will change at all under the control of Elon.To which Gary replied: “I think he needs to be very careful because there is a big difference between freedom of speech and hate speech.“I think you need to differentiate between the two.“You can’t just let people say and do whatever they want, that is dangerous isn’t it?”Gary’s hesitancy towards Elon comes after the multi-billionaire has dissolved Twitter’s board of directors, making him chief executive of three companies alongside Tesla and SpaceX.Alongside this is Elon’s well known proposal for Twitter’s future, making it a haven for “free speech”.Having not revealed how he intends to make it so, the businessman has said publicly that the site will be “forming a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints”.In a recent tweet, Elon, who has 113

James Corden, 44, has revealed whether or not he intentionally copied a joke told by Ricky Gervais, 61, on his chat show last night.The star took to Twitter to update his 1.5 million followers, after accusations of plagiarising the comic. James wrote: “Inadvertently told a brilliant Ricky Gervais joke on the show last night, obviously not knowing it came from him. “It’s brilliant, because it’s a Ricky Gervais joke,” he continued. “You can watch all Ricky’s excellent specials on Netflix.

“Call me cynical, but I bet they all come crawling back.”He added: “The ridiculous overreaction to Musk taking over Twitter has exposed a lot of the very issues that the Tesla and Space X genius has identified and wants to resolve.”It comes after the TalkTV presenter also hit out at renowned actor Bradley Whitford, 63, on Twitter after the actor warned that Elon, 51, taking over the platform will be a “recipe for disaster”.In retaliation Piers, who is a self-professed fan of Elon, fired back by calling The West Wing star a “big baby”. Elon completed his $44bn (£37.9bn) takeover of Twitter on Friday, renaming himself as "Chief Twit" on his profile. The billionaire’s purchase of the site has been controversial, leaving many worrying about the changes he plans to make to the social media platform. This morning, Bradley took to Twitter to warn about the takeover in view of his 480,700 followers. “Entitled bats**t billionaires in charge of the public square is the opposite of freedom and a recipe for disaster,” he wrote. This evening, Piers, who only recently defended Elon, slammed the star in view of his 7.9 million followers. Piers wrote: “As opposed to entitled bats**t actors who - unlike @elonmusk - think any views that challenge their own woke-ravaged self-righteous rantings warrant instant cancellation? “Put your rattle back in your illiberal stroller, you big baby,” he added. On Thursday, April 14, Elon Musk announced an offer to buy Twitter for $54.20 a share. He accepted the deal a couple of weeks later on April 25, but by July 8, he was keen to do a U-turn, claiming he wanted to back out. However, despite the uncertainty over the last few months he has become the owner of the site as of October 27. Piers told his

Plans to charge Twitter users for verified 'blue tick' accounts could cost the Scottish Government and local authorities thousands of pounds if implemented.

Kanye West claims to have been "beat to a pulp" in recent weeks. The 45-year-old rap star has recently lost lucrative contracts with the likes of Balenciaga, Adidas and Gap after he posted an anti-Semitic message on social media, and Kanye has now taken to Instagram to bemoan his situation and the perceived lack of transparency in the business world.

Somewhere out there, Heywood Jablome and Pat McGroyne are laughing. Definitely not laughing: CNBC, Bloomberg, ABC7-News in the Bay Area, and other media outlets duped by two Merry Pranksters outside the Twitter offices today.

Well, it happened. Elon Musk actually took ownership of Twitter. We’d love to say everyone was worried over nothing, but… certainly some big changes are already afoot. And they’re not exactly reassuring.
