Seeing the Generative AI report in some UK GSC accounts today...

[Will O'Hara 👨🏽‍💻 @willohara]

So finally...finally, we're getting AI search data in GSC.

But with the caveat that it's only impressions, no clicks, and pages with no query or topic.

Better than nothing - and maybe a base to build from.

I really can't see it being delivered today either. Only arrived in Manchester last night, needs to get to Bury delivery office then actually on a van out for delivery. Nothing happening tomorrow so it'll be Monday and nearly a full week since it left. Fucking hell.

I know it says it isn't a 'guaranteed' service, but the "Royal Mail Tracked 48" is 💩

Dispatched 8:46am on Tuesday, and no item yet. So thats now over 96 hours. What's worse is its a fragile item that I'd prefer spent as little time as possible in the postal system 🫠

I could've driven to the original location it was posted (Cornwall) to collect it, then back home (Manchester) and repeated that process 8 times, in the time I've waited for it to arrive.

The president cancelling tv shows he doesn’t like & memeing about it on social media is a dystopian nightmare.

10 years, the very thought of this occurring would have been uncontroversially anti-american.

MAGA has destroyed our country.

Very surprised there's not already an online petition with a few hundred thousand signatures, asking to get rid of Tuchel after this disaster of an England squad 🫣

Sunderland top 'overachievers' (+11 places) with Man Utd in second (+9 places)...

Gary Neville commentating on United...awful.

Convinced that Cunha goal was handball despite it hitting his side before the underside of his arm.

This post got 12k more likes than Man City's 'treble winners' post 😄🔥👀

Casemiro's match tweet today has 58k likes in 3 hours... (City's post is 3 years old) - when you're big, you're big.

Incredible atmosphere at Old Trafford. We're very close to reach our goal !!!! Come on Reds !!! 🔴

Unfortunately, my school teacher is no longer with us to grade this piece through her golden rule of journalism: Who, What, Where, When, and Why.

So, let us walk through Laura Kuenssberg's article together and scan it the way she taught me to.

WHO
The article relies heavily on an army of anonymous faces. 'An ally tells me', 'one cabinet minister', 'another minister', 'one source'. This is not verified reporting. It is Westminster gossip and unnamed sources. If sources have no names, they have no skin in the game and no accountability.

WHAT
We are told the race to replace the Prime Minister is officially on. But what has actually happened? One MP resigned from government and another wants to re-enter parliament. Everything else, the timelines, the coronation plots, is speculative drama, gossip, and unnamed sources designed for clicks.

WHERE
The setting is entirely inside the Westminster bubble. An article about such a momentous topic that will affect the lives of millions of citizens contains absolutely no mention of them. There is no word on how the stock market is already reacting or how this uncertainty will impact the entire country and every single citizen.

WHEN
The piece talks about a leadership contest over the summer, yet the author admits this timetable is miles away from being confirmed. A real journalist would know the rules, laws, and procedures, and would offer at least two alternative timelines, including the very real possibility that none of this happens at all.

WHY
We are told Starmer is being pushed because he is a 'slow decision-maker'. This reduces national governance to a personality contest. Why is there no mention of the GDP growth, the many advancements the government announced just last week, or the clear progress made on their manifesto? A proper journalist would look at these undeniable results and search for the deeper, hidden motives of the people challenging the PM.

The Verdict
My teacher would have given this a 2/10. It is a theatre review masquerading as news.

The author lists major issues on the PM's desk, help with energy bills, defense spending, social media safety for children, and so much more. Yet, these crucial issues are treated as mere background decoration for party infighting.

The fact that this comes from the BBC is what should worry us the most.

A broadcaster that built its global reputation on honest, investigative journalism now relies on writers who treat politics like a soap opera.

Between these narratives, figures like Robbie Gibb with questionable political motives, and an Ofcom regulator that does everything except its job, civic trust is being destroyed.

Laura Kuenssberg can go hand in hand with Chris Mason.

We are left to wonder why the two of them are doing this and what their motives are, especially regarding the BBC, which we pay for.

We deserve real facts, not orchestrated drama.

If these growing financial scandals involving Farage do not become resignation issues then this country is completely throwing in the towel on standards in public life.

@AdamJoseph How have they spent 4 minutes looking at that but zero time then checking the two West Ham players with an Arsenal player with both arms around them wrestling them to the ground?

I don't like to say it's fixed, but when it looks that bad 🤷‍♂️

[Will O'Hara 👨🏽‍💻 @willohara]

If that's not a goal for West Ham, how is it not a penalty for West Ham - at least two Arsenal players with both arms around West Ham players wrestling them and pushing them into the net... madness.

Guarantee if that's a Utd player, its red. Did VAR not check it? If they did, I'd love to hear the audio...

We live in a footballing world where accidentally pulling someone’s hair gets you sent off but intentionally elbowing someone in the face doesn’t.

No idea how Nilson Angulo got away with this 🤯
