Opinium doesn't feature Ed Davey in its graphs, but it does in its questions. And here's the result for net approval:

Ed Davey +2
Nigel Farage -10
Kemi Badenoch -17
Keir Starmer -23
🚨 New polling with @ObserverUK

Against the backdrop of multiple meetings with world leaders over ending the conflict in Ukraine and Russia, Keir Starmer has enjoyed a jump in approval ratings this week.

Although still strongly disapproved of overall, he has risen by 10 points.

Our CEO Jonny Oates statement in response to the Government’s huge cut to ODA announced today.

It is short-sighted and damaging to the UK's security.

Spiralling global malnutrition, threatening global stability, will go unchecked.

The Government must reverse this decision.

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn.

It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

🚨 10% of tracks uploaded to Deezer every day are fully AI generated, according to new research from Deezer themselves.

How much more evidence do you need that generative AI competes with the work it's trained on?

Powerful message from Sir Paul McCartney to the UK government on their plans to upend copyright law to benefit AI companies:

“You’re supposed to protect us. … Make sure you protect the creative thinkers, the creative artists, or you’re not going to have them.”

I have run the Breaking Putin’s Censorship campaign, in my spare time, since February 2022.

The 500m+ ads we've shown to Russians, suggest how we can beat dictators like Putin.

But it also shows ironically the power that governments still have in the age of the internet.

Anonymous UK government sources today suggested there are technical solutions that will make it possible to opt out of generative AI training.

This is incorrect. No opt-out scheme in existence can successfully opt out all downstream copies of your work. Opt-out doesn’t work.
