Man jailed for perjury and perverting the course of justice, is on Sky News talking about trust. “It’s not a mistake Margaret Thatcher would have made,” he pompously intones. Well, we all make mistakes, don’t we Jeffrey? Though most of us don’t do time for them.

Do people have trust issues with the Prime Minister? @Jeffrey_Archer shares his views on the gifts row and has some advice for Keir Starmer #KayBurley SS

More implications of AI for journalism* and libel law? 'Honest opinion' is a key defence -- that perhaps does not apply when content is AI-generated... @richarddanbury *if it counts as journalism
David Banks@DBanksy

Interesting. Reviewing is usually protected in libel by the defence of honest opinion. An AI, I would suggest, is incapable of having an opinion and whether or not it is honest would be impossible to determine. I look forward to the court case where an artist sues the bots.

@jamesrbuk Brand review strategy strikes again? Also: doesn't one of the escalators up from the tube station funnel passengers (sorry, customers...) towards an Outernet entrance, probably nudging up 'visits'? @ianvisits @diamondgeezer

@AliJaneMoore 'Behaviours and values' (included in the job spec ads) mention four points under 'integrity'...

PL: What? I am becoming obssessed with reading the Telegraph's commentariat's ravings for their strangness. It's as though I'm watching a collective car crash. An inverted view of the world. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/06/2…

Imagine if a BBC News presenter posted mocked-up images of a Conservative politician in Jewish religious dress, and suggested a vote for the party would lead to the Jewish takeover of Britain. Yet doing the same about Muslims gets a pass in British media bylinetimes.com/2024/06/14/gb-…

Sadly the preview here omits "mouse jigglers", so here's a screenshot. Although I think the term usually refers to the devices not the people? Anyway...

Reposting: this @FT style guide note banning the use of the word "compensation" for executive pay. It never gets old.

Language here from @AP seems more like an ad or sponsored post -- strong evaluative words such as "triumphant" with no quotes or attribution?! Seems very odd, at best @APNews @JuliePace @davidfolkenflik @jackshafer Am I missing something?
The Associated Press@AP

Donald Trump made a triumphant return to Capitol Hill on Thursday, his first with lawmakers since the Jan.6, 2021 attacks, embraced by energized House and Senate Republicans who find themselves reinvigorated by his bid to retake the White House.

Fab metaphor here by @stephenkb -- comparing the Conservative party manifesto to "getting someone flowers from a petrol station". In his @FT newsletter, Inside Politics. Political journalism and analysis can be creative and entertaining, as well as astute.

Senior French official: “We are celebrating the Entente Cordiale in our own way. You offered us such a political shitshow for years that we owe you a bit back” 😅🇫🇷🇬🇧
