In Today’s @CommonsDCMS Committee, I questioned the Chairman of the @EFL, Rick Parry, on the impact of Covid-19 on football and what the future holds for clubs like my team @CardiffCityFC. Here is a short thread on some of the important things we discussed. #Bluebirds
I asked Mr Parry if he has held discussions with the @premierleague regarding promotion and relegation and if he expects it to go ahead.
I asked him what would happen if the @premierleague changed their minds about promotion and relegation.
I asked him if he thought the Football League should finish one season before starting another.
I asked, if games went ahead behind closed doors, if this would happen on neutral grounds.
With the PFA Chief Gordon Taylor considering the possibility of shorter halves of football, I asked if that's something which the Football League would consider.
I asked him if he thought the economic challenges faced by clubs in recent seasons is partly down to players being paid too much.
Finally, I asked if he thought not enough money was being trickled down from the @premierleague to the Football League and if salary caps should be introduced.

In @CommonsCMS I spoke to the panel about AI and the need for regulation. 🧵

In the creative industries there should be "no Artificial Intelligence without Emotional Intelligence - ie the human factor... AI can be a wonderful servant, but it would make a terrible master." (1/6)
Reema Selhi, Head of Policy & International at DACS:

"It's important for us not to have a race to the bottom - lots of AI developments we've seen are effectively extractive, they extract content which has already been made available online and turning that into a product." (2/6)
John Hollingworth. Actor and BECS Member at British Equity Collecting Society Ltd:

"We're talking about fair remuneration for work artists have made and we need to protect our work and income stream as actors and creators, they're (copyright and AI) are not unallied issues (3/6)

I have been questioning the appointment of Richard Sharp to the position of BBC Chair for over two years now - and what role the then Prime Minister, Boris Johnson has played in this.

🧵A thread:
I first asked Richard Sharp about his relationship with Boris Johnson in 2021 and asked him outright if the then Prime Minister had helped him to become BBC Chair. He denied this.
After the allegations surfaced, that Richard Sharp had helped to facilitate a loan for Boris Johnson, I once again questioned him on this. You can watch this in full here.

In @CommonsDCMS I asked the panel for their thoughts about the Government's decision to allow the data mining of music catalogues which could allow AI to imitate and rip off the work of some of our most beloved artists, bands and musicians - and not pay them a penny. (1/4)
Svana Gisla, the producer of ABBA Voyage, says "ermerging and existing artists have a hard enough time surviving" as it is, without "competing" with tech which can do this. She adds, "it's terrible, it's a bad idea." (2/4)
Dr Yiyun Kang, Associate Lecturer at the Royal College of Art says she "doesn't personally love the idea" of tech being able to data mine her artistic work. She adds, "IP is a really critical issue... how can we authorise... say this is the property of this person." (3/4)

In @CommonsDCMS I spoke to the BBC's Director General, Tim Davie, about the broadcaster’s outsourcing of programmes. Firstly, I asked him for his views on the BBC outsourcing programmes to certain companies who clearly do not respect creators' intellectual property. (1/5)
Tim Davie tells me, outside of news and sport, the BBC has always sourced in-house and out-of-house. He adds when the BBC deals with outside entities it shouldn't be up to the BBC to judge how these companies operate. (2/5)
Next I asked Mr Davie if the BBC has a specific policy on the commissioning of music in relation to IP. He says the BBC is much more porous in terms of their ability to share rights. He adds he'll write to @CommonsDCMS with a more detailed answer. (3/5)

Today the @CommonsDCMS Committee published their report on the problem of concussion in sport. Here is a thread of some of the issues the report raised and its recommendations. #concussion #concussioninsport (1/25)
Despite the need for acquired brain injury to be taken seriously by sport, both written and oral evidence to this inquiry support the health benefits to people through mass participation in sporting activity. (2/25)
The reality is that, for most people playing grassroots sport, there is no one to stop them continuing to play, after a head injury, except themselves. That is how far down the knowledge and awareness of concussion and how to respond to it must reach. (3/25)
