"Backed by brilliant campaigners and the brave mums who spoke of the mental and physical effects of birth trauma, and backed by what is right, I know that sooner or later Wes Streeting will have to take our calls." Spot on, @theodoraclarke https://t.co/DScB3J7iDL
More alarming stories on the onslaught of AI-generated celebrity deepfakes. @celinedion joins the thousands of artists speaking out against AI-generated fraud after her voice was replicated without her consent.

No @bbcthp, mums aren’t superheroes. Stop with that narrative this #InternationalWomensDay2025- it just allows us to continue to be overworked, underpaid, used and abused. Our unseen labour is worth a hell of a lot. Our emotional labour matters. Stop #NormalisingMisogyny
I honestly didn't think it could get worse, but tomorrow The Sunday Times reveals the latest horrifying revelations about poor maternity care at Nottingham Hospital.
Big questions continue to be asked about #maternitysafety nationally, 10 years on from the Morecambe Bay report.
Myles Smith does an excellent speech at the BRITs asking music companies to support grassroots venues and asking record companies to support careers, not just a ‘moment’
#BRITs2025 award winner Myles Smith, asks the government to support grassroots venues
“If British music is one of the most powerful exports we have, why have you treated it like an after thought for so many years?"
He tells labels: “moments fade but careers last forever.”
Thank you to the Labour backbenchers who attended the briefing last night on the Copyright and AI consultation. Useful conversation on the importance of transparency and how it can drive greater licensing which is recognised in the consultation.

Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated? AI companies are training their systems on creators work without permission or remuneration. This has to end. Just a few hours to go before crucial government consultation ends. Make sure your voice is heard!
Read ALW and Alastair Webber's piece: 'It’s grand theft AI and UK ministers are behind it. Oppose this robbery of people’s creativity.' in @guardian today: https://t.co/2IhpGQhi2L
“I don't think I've ever seen newspapers editorialised with one voice - this is a first.”
News UK COO David Dinsmore explains the Make It Fair campaign, warning about the existential threat posed by generative AI models to creative industries.
@DaveDins@StigAbell@KateEMcCann
The gvt says it is committed to growth yet is proposing a policy that would devastate one of our fastest growing sectors: the UK creative industries.
I’ve written for today’s Times on why ministers must abandon plans to weaken copyright law. #makeitfair

This morning there is an important debate in Parliament about Maternity Services put forward by Jess Brown-Fuller MP (Chichester) @JessBrownFuller. Hopefully some of the immediate actions to improve maternity safety across the country are discussed.

Is This What We Want?
Over 1000 musicians have come together to release a silent album protesting the UK government’s proposed changes to copyright law. This is the harsh reality we face if AI companies are allowed to steal our music.

We're sending a clear message to government: Make it Fair 🚨
This new campaign calls on government to stop siding with big tech and ensure that creators are fairly rewarded when their work is used to train AI. Read more 👇

If you are a creative of any kind, but particularly if you are a musician, you must put aside an hour or two to get your consultation response in TODAY regarding Copyright and AI. Don’t let the govt take away the rights to your work #MakeItFair
