NEW: A mass propaganda event is about to engulf the US news cycle and what, if anything, survives it will be a lesson for our times.
But it’s what the rest of the world does now that’s key. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.
It is very worrying that new UK tech minister Liz Kendall is bringing in an adviser who has
- said AI companies will never compensate creatives
- echoed big tech’s calls for copyright reform
- echoed big tech’s false claims that UK copyright law is ‘uncertain’ and therefore needs clarifying
Why is this government so set on throwing creatives under the bus to benefit AI companies?

Left: "Ministers resist calls to block Musk donations to Farage’s Reform UK"
Right: That time in 2019 when @carolecadwalla called out misinformation which influenced Brexit and took the UK out of the EU on the slimmest of margins
Labour's refusal to limit donations means the next election will be a persistent swamp of misinformation on social media, even worse than it is now
Is Labour's inaction damaging the integrity of our democracy?
