this is doubly cool because the AI summaries are also often unusable and misleading.
SCOOP: Evidence growing of “devastating impact” for publishers from "AI summaries". Two studies show big falls in clickthrough - one suggesting falls of up to 80%. Google says studies are flawed, but publishers say it refuses to provide solid data.

@Moreincommon_ In short, Labour now needs the groups it's alienated. And that's why this piece will make such uncomfortable reading for its leadership 👇.

@Moreincommon_ A year ago, some party figures were saying Labour could afford to lose the Muslim vote and would still walk the general election. That is, broadly, what happened. But its eroded support base is crumbling further both left and right, as we keep seeing in voting intention polls.

The first thing to look at is set of county council seats contested in May. Just 14 had Muslim populations over 30%, according to @Moreincommon_. Eight elected independents. If those results are repeated at next year's elex in London, Birmingham & north, could spell huge losses.

🔴 One year on from the general election that saw Muslim voters turn away from Labour, has the party made any progress in winning back what was once one of its most reliable support bases?. That's the Q @sajeraj set out to answer for @onlinehyphen.

A disgusting irony here. MPs were debating the proscription of Palestine Action while, just a few corridors away, medics who had travelled to Gaza briefed their colleagues on the horrors that PA have been trying to slow.

MPs really nailed it by banning the group that has done the most in the UK to challenge and obstruct this unending horror. Please, tell me again how our democracy is the envy of the world.
