I held a debate in @ukparliament on Technology Sovereignty, a key part of our national and economic security and wellbeing. We need an honest debate on the role of foreign-owned Big Tech. These advances must empower lives in the UK in an insecure world. shorturl.fm/oHksH

At today's SIT @HOCcommitteesUK I asked preferred @Ofcom chair candidate Sir Ian Cheshire if Ofcom's remit that now includes the postal service, broadcasting and the BBC, telecoms and online safety is too big to be effectively managed and chaired?

On Newcastle doorsteps there is overwhelming support for the Government's decision not to join Israel and the US's war on Iran. I asked the Minister whether US loosening of oil sanctions on Russia would enable it to better support it's ally, Iran.

At the @HOCcommiteesUK I asked preferred @UKRI_News chair candidate Prof Sir Leszek Borysiewicz how he would drive regional innovation and growth through science beyond the Golden Triangle where his career and interests have been so concentrated.

Children's access to social media is a subject of general debate and a Government consultation. @CommonsSITC we looked at the underlying evidence and I asked some of those supporting a ban if better regulation was an alternative to address the harms children experience online.

Great news for renters in Newcastle Central and West. The Renters Reform Act is now in force meaning 10,000 local homes gain stronger rights and protections. Labour is delivering for renters!

Many of our digital harms are underpinned by engagement driven digital advertising. I asked The Secretary of State whether the Government will regulate this, as called for by my @HoCcommitteesUK report into social media, misinformation and harmful algorithms.

In the Rycroft report debate I raised @CommonsSITC evidence that TikTok Meta and X algorithms are controlled by foreign billionaires with political agendas and asked if that could constitute a political donation. I urged him to implement our proposals on algorithmic transparency

In the @HOCcommitteesUK SITC debate on our new Neuroscience and Digital Childhood inquiry I set out how we will examine the science of the impact of tech on children's mental and physical health and brain and eye development to further parents' and policymakers' understanding.

Technology sovereignty? Technology serfdom? Or techxit? How should the UK chart the technological path to tech independence, national security, and economic prosperity and what are the implications of our dependence on US big tech and Chinese supply chains?

As authors, we love our readers and meeting/alking to you. We do book events and love them, but they're exhausting. We are "on" the entire time, which is extra hard for more introverted authors- and most authors ARE introverted. Please treat authors you meet with grace at events. #booksky

Perfection will never exist. Rational people seek overall incremental improvement. Delaying improvement costs lives. Autonomous vehicles are already safer overall than human drivers - especially human drivers who lose consciousness behind the wheel like this bus driver and many other bus drivers.

The survival of the loudest online Ever wonder why the internet feels so toxic? It all comes down to how social media environments reward outrage. It is a battle for your attention where shouting always wins, so the internet morphed from a democratic dream into a massive shouting match.

Ghislaine Maxwell pleaded the 5th Amendment today and refused to answer questions because the President is waving a pardon over her head. In no way should she ever be pardoned. I call on the President to firmly commit to never pardoning her. The victims deserve justice.
