Labour MPs are now openly plotting against Starmer Conversations within Labour around the Prime Minister's future have stepped up a gear

Original report here:

The Labour MPs met to plot in a private Commons bar, the Smoking Room, while the PM dined next door. “We were here until late,” one minister told The i Paper the next morning, “talking about who and how and when…”

It is a mad, toxic response from No 10.

But the reality is more worrying for the PM. Concern is widespread across his Government and party.

The truth is that Kitty Donaldson spoke to dozens of MPs, Cabinet ministers and strategists for her report.

Exclusive story @theipaper.com about Labour MPs plotting against Starmer (Friday night) shocked the Prime Minister’s closest aides.

Neither we, nor the PM’s Cabinet colleagues, expected what happened next.

No 10’s paranoid briefing against Wes Streeting has become the story...

With everyone watching Adolescence on Netflix - a reminder that the TikTok algorithm pushed a '13 year old boy' manosphere and Andrew Tate-style 'motivational' videos -- despite the child's profile not seeking any content out AT ALL.

‘You don't want to be here’: How TikTok bombards children with harmful content Videos amplifying feelings of depression and anger were repeatedly pushed to a social media profile set up for a 13-year-old boy even though he wasn't searching for such content

Within 2 minutes of joining TikTok Harry Smith, age 13, was being pushed harmful content amplifying feelings of depression.

Except Harry was actually @theipaper.com reporter @sanyaburgess.bsky.social who revealed how social platforms target children pre-Online Safety Act

We welcome benefits of rapid innovation in AI, but it doesn't need to be built on stealing others’ work.

We want: 1/ existing copyright law to be enforced, 2/ mutually beneficial partnership with AI firms based on transparency, licensing. A sustainable future for the UK creative sector #MakeItFair

It’s happening across journalism, music, film, TV, books, drama, audio, photography.

Now Labour wants to weaken UK gold standard copyright laws, which helped to grow £125bn creative industries, envy of world.

--> Easier for tech firms to take content without payment / permission.

Growing outcry.

As editors and reporters, we fear for the future of quality journalism - with unlawful scraping of content (theft) by AI firms. #MakeItFair

In A&E, he’s the only psychiatry doctor on duty in the hospital overnight

In his other role, he’s the sole doctor overseeing more than a dozen mental health wards, split between several sites which are 15-minute drives apart

Doing this single-handedly can seem “absurd,” he says
