Hey everyone, remember that manifesto that everyone really paid attention to and was honoured by Labour when in Government?

Yes?
No?

Too busy worrying about Finances and Fascism? But James worked so hard on it....

His work on the manifesto renews questions about the close relationship
between Labour and major technology companies, who have enjoyed regular
access to senior ministers in Starmer’s government.

Lyons wrote his LinkedIn post mainly about his time in government, where
he was director of strategic communications for 11 months. As part of the
post, he talked publicly for the first time about how he originally became
involved in Starmer’s project.

“The ask to enter No 10 came out of the blue,” he said. “I had helped Labour
during the election by rewriting the manifesto to make it more compelling
(and remove bear traps where I could).

Hey, how's that Online Safety Act protecting us against Elon Musk today?

Oh.....

Seems like having so many people from the Technology sector in Government has had fuck all positive effect for the People....but I'm sure the Tech companies are doing all right.

Labour’s pre-election manifesto talked optimistically about the benefits the
technology industry could bring to the economy, though relatively little
about social media policy.

The one policy which could have had an impact on TikTok’s business was a
promise to “build on the Online Safety Act”, adding that the party would
“explore further measures to keep everyone safe online, particularly when
using social media”.
