Fascinating, BBC News. But did you know there was a #BrexitInquiry debate yesterday?

Following 180,000 petition signatures, there was the first ever debate in Parliament on Brexit damage costing the UK billions across all sectors.

No BBC coverage.

But "man drives miles"?...
It's really not hard to report this stuff @BBCNews. The Indy can do it - have a look:

When even Cabinet Ministers back away from Conservative branding… Image
And the Deputy PM would also rather be seen in the Greens’ branding than in true blue. Image
And it’s not just that series… it seems to be a new colour theme for them: ImageImage

Delighted to say that at ⁦@YorksBylines⁩ we have our first article written entirely by AI -

- and on the subject of itself.

Enjoy & marvel… yorkshirebylines.co.uk/business/techn…
That also means that Chat GPT now has its own author page on Yorkshire Bylines:

yorkshirebylines.co.uk/author/chatgpt/
Obviously this now leads to some interesting editorial policy debates/ decisions.

Chat GPT being such a clearly powerful article/ essay writing tool that it won’t be long before writers start using it to help their work.

How should that be declared? Can it even be detected?

What happened to the missing 45 MPs that supposedly also backed Boris?

My take:

1) If he had them, he would've run

2) He had a fake-it-til-u-make-it strategy to get more onboard

3) The undeclared were prob conditional on him passing the mark- so BoJo said "that's good enough"
4) Then when he couldn't get any more of those conditional MPs to declare openly, to set up the chain-reactions he needed - he realised he had to change tack to avoid egg on his face, having said he had 100

5) He tried to bully Penny or Rishi to join his ticket
6) But Rishi & Penny knew his lying and bullying ways, knew he didn't have the numbers and said no

7) Boris Johnson then needed an out. So he stuck with his 102 MPs bullshit, so as not to lose face, and blamed his failure on Rishi & Penny's failure to unify with him

So the main hall at #conservativeconference is a ghost town…

But the pro-European @euromove fringe event is packed to the rafters.

The times they are a’changing.
And overflowing, apparently. Should’ve turned up earlier. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Great that some media is there to catch it.

A pro-European event at Conservative Conference absolutely storming it.

THREAD:

The Met consistently refused to investigate Patygate despite overwhelming evidence.

They then launched an inquiry days before Sue Gray report release, delaying the report at key moment.

They issue 1 fine to Johnson for the least serious incident & include Sunak.

1/
Johnson tells friends that he's been assured he'll get no more fines (reported on 24/4 - so Johnson knows outcome *one month* before Met announce).

Met delay issuing fines to Downing St during local elections.

Met issue fines for Nov event, but not Johnson despite photos.

2/
When full set of fines come out, it is clearly disproportionately aimed at junior staff, protecting those leaders responsible for the culture and also present at the events.

--- I wouldn't want to make accusations about any individuals in Met, as you don't know who did what.

MASSIVE respect to this woman. She’s been arrested already of course.

What a hero! 😲
Apparently her name is Marina Ovsyannikova and she’s an editor at Russia’s Channel One.

Will post more as I findvout.
