The BBC must rebuild trust with license fee payers. Listeners & viewers are already declining to pay & the long term risk to the BBC is relevance in a world dominated by bigger tech platforms. We need the BBC to pull itself together as an important institution in our democracy

The potential purchase of ITV by Sky is an interesting & positive development for UK broadcasting. It would have been unthinkable a few years ago but TV companies need to consolidate if they are to stand against the growing ad market power of YouTube.

For years we've been waiting for the arrival of competition to Eurostar on passenger services through the Channel Tunnel. The Virgin Trains proposals are good news for passengers, and the best hope of re-opening the Kent stops at Ashford and Ebbsfleet https://t.co/QNibHIk3vj

In our first plenary panel, moderator @DamianCollins (former UK Minister for Tech and the Digital Economy and Senior Fellow at the Centre) led a riveting discussion on the weaponization of tech governance. #AttnGovernOrBeGoverned #Attention2025

I believe in the power of art to challenge us to look at the world in new ways but this graffiti installation at Canterbury Cathedral is just appalling. It is out of character and out of place in the setting of that magnificent place of worship.

Watch @HuddlestonNigel demolish Reform’s Zia Yusuf on Question Time last night 🔥

In today's totally predictable news, Reform's Doge efforts in Kent have failed and it will raise taxes instead https://t.co/hGcDsPg7tH

When the UK govt opened applications for AI growth zones in June it asked applicants to, ‘clearly set out any specific asks of government…This should include: Details of the support requested (e.g. regulatory flexibility…’ Was this granted for the new North East AI growth zone?

I'm delighted to announce that from today I'll be working with Geradin Partners to lead their policy practice in London. They are the premier pan-European law firm for competition and digital regulation in major cases throughout the EU and the UK.

You could easily have missed the White House AI summit last week, where Donald Trump set out his plan to effectively make the race to be first in AI akin to the space race in the 1960s. Read my views here in my latest article for @TheNewWorldmag

I still fully support the #OnlineSafetyAct setting binding safety standards for social media platforms to remove self harm & suicide content, advertising frauds & scams, inciting racial hatred, harassment, threats to national security, and protecting children from adult content.

@militaryhistori @BrianCo48405777 @RevdPye @GilesMacDonogh @MargyMayell @oldtoonloon @EdnaKB2 @theskibeagle @alanhinkes @MalcolmCGodfrey @michaelkeegan14 Probably so but if one wants to see the very best of him -- and also an insight into his faults -- no better read than @DamianCollins https://t.co/dUOnb4eCRw it is a terrific read

We can’t give AI everything for free ✏️@DamianCollins https://t.co/8jeduAP17J

Creators cannot enforce an opt out of their works being used to train AI unless they know it is happening. AI developers shouldn't be able to profit from that work without consent. You can read more here in my latest article for @TheNewWorldmag
