For an outlet that spends little on international reporting and styles itself “Britain’s news channel”, GB News takes a lot of interest in those born overseas. A hefty portion of its content last week focused on migrants arriving from France in small boats. “They’re criminals – they should be deported, full stop,” demanded studio guest Tom Hunt, a Tory MP. The impact of immigration to the UK in general was much discussed.

If any politician is in need of good press, it is Sir Keir Starmer, whose net favourability rating fell to -46 last month, the worst score ever recorded by a YouGov poll. On social media it is hard to find a good word about the Prime Minister, as his reputation is derided in turn by right-wingers and disenchanted voices on Labour’s left. He is subject to vile abuse and wild conspiracy theories about his personal life, which tech oligarchs allow to run unchecked on their platforms.

Founded as a voice for the 48 per cent who voted against the UK’s departure from the European Union, The New European has performed its own version of Brexit by renaming itself The New World and adopting a global strategy.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is developing at such a pace that it behoves us to contemplate the day when robots decide what is news. The nightmare future would involve AI bots breaking stories based on information scraped from social media, or producing analysis based on corporate PR releases, partisan disinformation sites and what is left of state-supported media. All with negligible human oversight.

It was the freezing winter of 1963 and snow was lying thick on the ground in London when Barry Fantoni, who has died aged 85 of a heart attack, came to fame by unveiling the Duke of Edinburgh in his underpants at the Woodstock gallery. The near lifesize image of Prince Philip in his smalls, surrounded by a kilt, a polo stick and items of naval uniform, in the style of a child’s cut-out doll, caused a sensation after the show was reviewed by the art critic of the Daily Express.
