Today, the UK government announced a proposal to change copyright law - for the benefit of AI companies - that would cause huge, irreversible harm to creators. More info below, but most importantly here's what you can do (wherever you live): 1. Email your MP. If you're in the

I encourage everyone to watch the inimitable Richard Osman speaking this week about generative AI's theft of copyrighted works, and what the UK government should do about it: "Things are being stolen." "In a very basic way, these people are not disruptors, they're thieves."

MEI publishes hundreds of original articles every year. In this crowded, news-driven environment, not every piece gets the attention it deserves. Read 10 publications from the past year that are worth another share: mei.edu/blog/10-articl…

Nicolas Cage says "protect yourselves from AI." “There is another world that is also disturbing me, and it’s happening right now around all of us — the new AI world. I am a big believer in not letting robots dream for us. Robots cannot reflect the human condition for us. That is

Imagine Russia executed 15 Red Cross medics and first responders, burying them in a mass grave. Imagine it lied about this grave war crime. Imagine footage then proved this. Would the BBC frame that as 'Russia admits mistakes over medic killings in Ukraine'? No it would not.

We were told Labour is listening, but anyone on the doors in Runcorn would have heard voters complain about winter fuel allowance, cost of living and general Govt incompetence. But rather than address these issues it engages in race to bottom with Reform theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/m…
