Done - this #bookseller supports the rights of the #creatives who gloriously feed our minds with the hard-won fruits of their labour #books
I've just emailed my MP. A quick, simple process that will hopefully make a difference. #KidLitUK
MPs will soon vote on crucial changes to the Data Bill, which could protect writers' rights in AI
Email your MP + ask them to support these amendments which would strengthen copyright, protect writers + make AI firms more transparent about work they've used

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

We need to stop thinking that Trump & his cronies are rational, stop expecting them to behave according to accepted social & political norms.
They behave like toddlers stuffed with sugar: overexcited, irrational, unpredictable, and eventually cross and destructive.
This was absolutely shameful.

Remember: the televised punishment & humiliation meted out to Zelensky just now could be done to any NATO ally facing similar aggression. The sense of sneering hostility & contempt by Trump & Vance isn’t specific to Ukraine.
