Every major UK newspaper - left, right, broadsheet, tabloid - is running a front page campaign against copyright carveouts for AI training. I can't remember the last time any political cause had such broad support, let alone one so anti-big tech and so economically consequential.

Just watched back Ed Davey’s response to the statement. He turns to the Tory benches as he lists the countries the US voted alongside in the UN last night: “Russia, Belarus and North Korea”. He can’t believe some of them are even flirting with this stuff.

Amazing atmosphere and presence at London rally for Ukraine in Trafalgar Square this evening. I was proud to speak earlier in Parliament to offer staunch Lib Dem support for UK leadership in opposing Putin. Three years after the illegal full-scale assault by Russia, the UK stands with Ukraine.
