What on earth qualifies Jeremy Wright MP to take on DCMS other than he's loyal? I can't see anything in terms of knowledge and experience but then I had never heard of him before today. He's not even on Twitter? Time Digital was raised in importance. It's critical to our future.
But should we see this appointment as more worrying? Appointment of a QC into a role that includes digital? This Tory PM has already shown authoritarian tendancies. Is this a precursor for further interference and attempts to exert control in the digital space?

So the best hope we have is that it's just about loyalty. There's no other intent, he's never wanted the role, it's just about the politics. Another symbol of a shambolic government and PM, just trying to hold things together...

probably not; but it will hopefully introduce an understanding of the rule of law and due process to the AV, AI, and data debates.

Hope is not a strategy. But sometimes it's all you've got. Let's hope you are right.
