Existing election law works for the age of print, and it doesn't work online. Was good to speak to @politicshome about AI disinformation, and how it highlights the whopping gaps in how we regulate and enforce conduct of elections 👇 https://t.co/yTYvQTMJBX

New ‘chillingly good’ AI image tools like Google’s Veo 3 are making disinformation easier than ever. Toothless and fractured regulators are struggling to keep pace, reports Matilda Martin

Perfectly chosen cocktail this evening to raise a glass to the mind behind "Riders", "Rivals" and "The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous": Dame Jilly Cooper 🥂🐕
NEW: The Queen has issued a very personal message following the news of Jilly Cooper's death, saying that she was "a legend in her own lifetime" and adding, "may her hereafter be filled with impossibly handsome men and devoted dogs".

When Lord @David_Cameron brought forward Same-Sex Marriage, it wasn’t in spite of being a conservative - but *because* he was a conservative. Real conservatives should delight in gay couples wanting to make these commitments and build roots. Listen to some of our team here👇

Snapshots from the past fortnight: 100+ in discussion in the South West, 300+ professional applications to our new Expert Groups (apply now!), 80+ women at our experimental Girls’ Night Out. That’s not even all - huge appetite for grassroots, conservative, policy formation 🌟

I refuse to be lectured by a man, who is on marriage #3, that my relationship is less important or valuable than his because we are men Jake and I will make excellent parents. We will provide a home for a child stuck in the horrors of the care system. How dare you @Nigel_Farage

Thinking today about Douglas Carswell back in 2014, an idealistic man with talent. And the way the light slowly started to die in his eyes as he realised he'd left a party to sign up to the Nigel Farage show, and had no way out. https://t.co/2Sdb0AsJg2

Bernie Sanders on the political assassination of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, in fact, is political cowardice." "It means you cannot convince people of the correctness of your ideas, & you have to impose them by force."
