Credit to No. 10 for launching a very effective operation to save the BBC and get it out of the headlines. Selfless (though self-defeating) behaviour. The prime minister as the ultimate 'dead cat'

Disinformation fuels misunderstanding, disrupts peace efforts, and warps perceptions of global events. Britain must stand up and lead the fight against this global threat. The time for action is now. My piece in @PoliticsHome @TheHouseMag👇 politicshome.com/thehouse/ar…

Political parties are embracing the 'uglification' of social media to ensure they get shares, if not endorsements. But is all press really good press, or will trying to 'get down with the kids' backfire? Me in @CityAM on whether memes can move the polls cityam.com/the-tiktok-electi…

Just a year ago, @RidgewayStrat got to work, delivering expert digital campaigns and counsel across multiple election campaigns and global events, including running the digital operation for @COP28_UAE. Now we’re launching Ridgeway Middle East, with a hub in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Our team has witnessed first-hand the ambition of Gulf countries and the rapid pace of digital transformation here. There’s nothing like it anywhere else in the world, and we are thrilled to be a part of this unique digital landscape, bringing top-tier talent to help drive development in the Middle East.
