At this very moment both the BBC News and Sky News channels are yet again showing a live speech by Nigel Farage. When will they start showing every speech by @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @eddavey.libdems.org.uk live as well?

You could say "You couldn't make it up".
But instead you should be saying
"You really shouldn't make it up"...
Especially when you're facing @danneidle.bsky.social in court.

The barrister Setu Kamal sued @danneidle.bsky.social for £8m for defamation. Representing himself in court, Kamal cited three cases that made Neidle’s case “untenable”.
But, in a bizarre twist, it turned out that these cases were hallucinated by ChatGPT:

I’ve picked up on an interesting vibe lately that pro-OSA and child safety groups are sussing that spending five years trying to rewrite the global internet (≠ platforms), whilst labelling anyone who criticised them pro-child abuse shills for Big Tech, achieved nothing.

The key thing about this story isn’t actually what the PR firm did - awful as it is - it’s that the journalists they smeared *were investigating the undeclared funding that brought Starmer to power*
That’s why Josh Simons commissioned them

When I lived in Japan, far-right parties used to drive around blaring out propaganda from loudspeaker vans. People saw them as public nuisances at best, dangerous nutters at worst. Interesting to see Matt Goodwin adopt the same strategy.
