The fact that the Labour front bench suppressed this expert analysis rather than being transparent and stepping up a gear in doing something about it doesn't just make them unserious. In my view it makes them criminally negligent.

The UK Govt has quietly published - without announcement - the Joint Intelligence Committee/DEFRA report it suppressed last October. They tried to sneak it out in the midst of crisis. Read and share:
“Global Biodiversity Loss, Ecosystem Collapse & National Security.”

I don't think it's actually possible to sum up how crazy it is to hear both the Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition say "we're actually fine with the paedophilia machine", because they don't want to even approach regulating Big Tech.
Keir Starmer's spokesman tells me that X and Grok's creation of sexual deepfakes of children is "completely unacceptable" but again won't commit to taking direct action against them, or to stop posting there.
