Will the UK ban 'X' over explicit, nonconsensual deepfake images of women and children generated using its AI tool? What does JD Vance's outburst against the Minnesota ICE shooting victim tell us about the misinformation age? After the attacks on Rory over the weekend from The Telegraph, Spectator, and Boris Johnson in the Daily Mail, what is it about Rory that so reliably enrages the right-wing press?
Join Rory and Alastair as they answer all these questions and more.

Re Alistair going/not going to the USA for the football… follow your gut – don’t go. But also a question.. do you think they would let you in? If they are being picky about social media posts what’s the chances you would get in?
I love the USA but certainly staying clear until they reset their moral compass.
Love the podcast, love the honesty.
