Just briefed the UN Security Council again on the situation in Gaza.
 
Watch my full remarks here:
t.co/OYSdN1n60b

So, for those killed and those whose voices are silenced: what more evidence do you need?

Will you act now – decisively – to prevent genocide in Gaza and to ensure respect for international humanitarian law?

This Council must prevail. Demand this ends.

My main ask to UN Security Council Members: let us work.

Food funded by your taxpayers is waiting at the borders to enter Gaza.

We could be saving millions of lives.

Let us do it.

The British Stunt Register give @paulwfleming.bsky.social their backing.

“Actors are spending hours, even days, creating them, often paying for equipment or studios to film in – and generally never hearing back”

🗣️ We are in @theguardian.com today highlighting issues around self-tapes & why we need standards in union agreements

The next five years are going to be even more challenging for @equityuk members.

We’ll need to be stronger, faster & cleverer.

Give Paul William Fleming the mandate he needs to deliver for you - #VotePWF

Labour’s AI plan could be good for Britain – except the creatives it will throw under the bus | Ed Newton-Rex The proposed new law will hand over artists’ and writers’ copyright so their competitors can be trained for free. The government must reconsider, says Ed Newton-Rex, founder of Fairly Trained

Labour’s AI plans risk putting “large swathes of the creative industries out of work by legalising theft”.
