I spoke to Baroness Kidron for @tbij.bsky.social about her proposed legal amendment which would make it an offence to create a chatbot that produces content that is illegal, or harmful, exploitative or coercive towards children. Read it in full ⬇️ www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...

Morgan said often this community felt “quite alienated and marginalised”, and so “reaching out to an official or a politician can feel like a huge step, they might be quite frightened to do it”. Hopefully this guide will help address this. www.holyrood.com/news/view,re...

Here are 2 pieces I wrote when I broke the story of William Lindsay's suicide in Polmont in 2018. They expose failings in the prison & the care system.
