Podcast appearances and mentions of Nick Clegg

It's a slowish news week ahead of some very busy news weeks, so of course Nilay and David start the show with a long discussion about party speakers. Eventually, they get into the news, beginning with some of the huge Apple redesigns planned for WWDC in June. For the first time in a long time, the stakes for Apple's software teams feel really high. After that, the hosts talk about Nilay's recent interview with Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and what the AI-ification of everything means for the future of the web. Finally, in the lightning round, it's time for another Brendan Carr is a Dummy, plus some talk about the Nintendo Switch 2, a bit of confusing tariff news, and more.

Sky News' Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy serve up their essential guide to the day in British politics.  It'll be a day when the PM goes again at selling the merits of his EU deal. One former cabinet minister tells the podcast it's all 'concrete and waffle'. Welfare is on the agenda today too - with a DWP committee session on child welfare. And, did someone mention Nick Clegg? The former Deputy PM has used the c-word about the Lib Dems. Sam and Anne discuss coalition after another favorable poll for them - but it's a poll which really isn't good news for the Tories  

The former deputy prime minister set out what this and future governments can learn from the 2010–15 coalition government. To mark the 15th anniversary of the creation of the Conservative–Liberal Democrat coalition in 2010, the IfG was pleased to welcome the Rt Hon Sir Nick Clegg to reflect on the 2010-15 government and the lessons for today's politics. Following his speech, Sir Nick was in conversation with Dr Hannah White, Director and CEO of the Institute for Government, and took part in an audience Q&A.

The frustration in Keir Starmer's voice was palpable. He's joined forces with France and Canada to pressure Israel to stop the humanitarian disaster unfolding in Gaza. How far are these leaders prepared to go? And will Trump support them? Later, what is the political fallout from the EU trade deal? And what would the Lib Dem's do differently? We hear from Ed Davey on Brexit, Nick Clegg and his new book “Why I care“.The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

Atentos al tiempo: aviso naranja por lluvias, tormentas y viento a partir del miércoles. Se prevén jornadas de inestabilidad en todo el archipiélago, «la más complicada de lo que llevamos de 2025», según la Aemet. Hasta 30 litros por metro cuadrado podrían registrarse en las islas más occidentales. Hace 1 año el titular era: El CRUCERO continúa su RUTA SIN los 69 BOLIVIANOS que llevaban VISADOS FALSOS. Hace 365 días la noticia era: La ansiedad y la depresión se 'comen' a los canarios: tres de cada diez sufre problemas de salud mental. El Archipiélago es la segunda región más afectada por estos trastornos. Canarias también despunta en colesterol alto, hipertensión y diabetes. Hoy se cumplen 1.137 días del cruel ataque e invasión de Rusia a Ucrania. 3 años y 42 días. Hoy es martes 8 de abril de 2025. Día Internacional del Pueblo Gitano. El Día Internacional del Pueblo Gitano se celebra el 8 de abril con el objetivo de reconocer el valor del pueblo gitano y las contribuciones que su cultura e historia han aportado al mundo. Se quiere acabar de una vez por todas con el estigma y discriminación de la cual han sido objeto durante tanto tiempo. 1904.- Convenio entre Inglaterra y Francia por el que el primer país reconoce al segundo libertad de acción en Marruecos, a condición de que respete las posesiones y derechos españoles en África. 1921.- Tercer congreso extraordinario del PSOE, que centra sus debates en la adhesión a la Tercera Internacional. 1939.- España se retira de la Sociedad de Naciones.1966.- Entra en vigor en España la nueva Ley de Prensa e Imprenta. 1971: Se celebra en Londres el primer Congreso Mundial del Pueblo Gitano. 1983.- Los Reyes de España, don Juan Carlos y doña Sofía, son recibidos en El Vaticano por Juan Pablo II. 1993.- La Asamblea General de la ONU aprueba la admisión de la exrepública yugoslava de Macedonia, que es el 181 miembro de la organización. 1994.- Juan Pablo II inaugura la restaurada Capilla Sixtina. 2003.- Tres periodistas, entre ellos el cámara español José Couso, mueren en Bagdad.

Trump amenaza a China con un arancel adicional del 50% si Pekín no retira antes de este martes los suyos. Cómo la fragmentación del mercado bélico europeo lastra su efectividad. Los mercados vuelven al rojo: el IBEX y las Bolsas europeas se hunden tras el desplome de las asiáticas por los aranceles. Conde-Pumpido sostiene que le "preocupa muchísimo" que se cuestione la legitimidad del Tribunal Constitucional. Clavijo “trasladará su preocupación” a la UE para que esta valore si limitar la venta de viviendas a extranjeros. El Gobierno regional pone el asunto en manos de Bruselas, donde afirma que apelará al trato singular que los tratados europeos reconocen a las regiones ultraperiféricas, por su necesidad de tener un nivel de protección específico. De la crisis más honda a la abundancia total: el platanero canario multiplica por tres sus ingresos. La escasa fruta embarcada, con siete millones de kilos e incluso menos a la semana desde finales de enero, y la menor oferta de ‘banana’ convierten a la fruta isleña en casi un artículo de lujo en la Península y Canarias: hay precios de venta al público de más 3,20 euros/kilo en el resto de España y de hasta 2,90 en las islas. Los sindicatos creen que la huelga en Semana Santa es ya «imparable» La patronal y las organizaciones sindicales rompen las negociaciones cuando faltan diez días para la fecha prevista para los paros.

This week, Ed Balls and George Osborne mull museums and memes via bank holidays and pennies. With listeners telling us their locations of choice, funeral director Ross ranks highly with his admission that Ed and George are sometimes listened to in a hearse on the drive home. The pair consider: what are the merits of regulating the funeral industry?Should our cultural institutions be charging more for access?George calls upon his expertise as Chair of the British Museum to weigh it up. Meanwhile, Ed shares his own research into the economics of a bank holiday… do we really stand to lose billions if the government was to introduce another?Toxic masculinity and online safety are in the spotlight in the wake of Netflix's hit show Adolescence, with research indicating that young people in the UK are particularly worried about these issues. Ed and George look at the role of government in addressing their concerns, before assessing whether the humble penny should remain a staple of British life. And a touch of nostalgia …  a listener reminds the economic duo of the ‘Budget Rap Battle', put together by Sky News when the pair were on opposite sides of the dispatch box. Ed expresses scepticism that such memes can make a political difference, although both agree that Nick Clegg's I'm Sorry remix was a damaging – albeit amusing – moment in the Lib Dem leader's career…. Become a member of POLITICAL CURRENCY GOLD

As Mike Amesbury bows out of his career as a Labour MP after being caught on tape assaulting a constituent, this week's episode of Westminster Insider goes inside politicians' wrangles with the law. Host Sascha O'Sullivan finds out if winding up in front of a judge can ever be survivable for a politician — high-profile or not. She talks to former Lib Dem advisor Sean Kemp about how the case of Chris Huhne, climate secretary during the coalition years, triggered a by-election which almost threatened the leadership of Nick Clegg. Fergus Mutch, former director of communications to the Scottish National Party, recalls being a witness in the trial of his former boss, Alex Salmond, who was eventually acquitted of charges of sexual assault in 2020. Mutch says the Salmond trial and the internal warfare it triggered did huge amounts of damage to the SNP. And Sascha turns to the sensational hush money trial of Donald Trump in the midst of the 2024 presidential election campaign. She talks to Michael Martins, a former senior advisor to the US embassy in the U.K., and Sarah Elliot, the spokesperson for Republicans overseas about how Trump eventually used the trial to his advantage. Sascha looks at how Marine Le Pen is using a similar playbook to Trump, with a trial against her helping galvanise her support base. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On 7 January, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced changes to its platforms' content moderation policies that, he admitted, will mean the company is “going to catch less bad stuff” across Facebook, Instagram and Threads.Among the raft of changes, Meta announced it was halting its third-party fact-checking programme in the US and replacing it with a Community Notes feature. It also updated its hateful conduct policy to now allow users to call women “household objects” or refer to transgender or non-binary individuals as “it”, among numerous other dehumanising examples.The story has dominated conversation around the industry throughout the early weeks of the year, with media agencies looking to reconcile potential concerns around brand safety and their own DEI commitments with the importance of Meta platforms on the media plan.In an op-ed for The Media Leader, Sonnie Spenser, Outvertising's communications co-director and Fresh Pies' digital marketing manager, pleaded with the UK media industry to disavow Meta's content moderation changes and consider an “exit strategy” to cut adspend from the tech giant.They joined senior reporter Jack Benjamin on the podcast to elaborate on the ethical and business cases for reapportioning spend away from Meta. They also discussed the raw impact Meta's policy changes have had on the LGBTQ+ community in the UK, whether brands truly care about brand safety and what the media industry can do to support minority members of staff amid a business culture shift away from DEI.Spenser said: "Hate is slowly becoming normalised and we need to do something about it."Highlights:2:22: Content moderation changes and cozying up to Donald Trump8:04: Should advertisers reduce spend on Meta?

Meta elimina verificadores de datos en Facebook e Instagram. ¿Qué significa para el futuro de la moderación de contenido?  Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCoMark Zuckerberg anunció la eliminación del programa de verificación de datos de Meta en EE. UU., reemplazándolo con un sistema de 'notas comunitarias' similar al de X, antes Twitter.Sigue el Flash Diario en SpotifyLa decisión marca un cambio radical hacia la libertad de expresión al tiempo que aviva el debate sobre desinformación y censura. La medida, anunciada antes de la toma de posesión de Donald Trump, parece buscar reparar relaciones con el presidente electo y sus aliados republicanos. Esta estrategia, aplaudida por figuras como Elon Musk, preocupa a defensores de derechos digitales y podría impactar la seguridad de las marcas en redes sociales. ¿Cómo afectará este movimiento el futuro del contenido en Facebook e Instagram?  ¿Es posible que una medida así reduzca la desinformación o simplemente deje espacio para más teorías conspirativas? Esta es la pregunta que genera más debate.  El martes, Meta anunció el fin de su programa de verificación de datos independiente en Facebook e Instagram. El sistema, implementado en 2016 tras el auge de la desinformación durante las elecciones presidenciales de EE. UU., se apoyaba en verificadores externos para identificar publicaciones falsas o engañosas. Ahora, la corrección de publicaciones dependerá de los usuarios mediante "notas comunitarias", un enfoque inspirado en la plataforma X de Elon Musk. Zuckerberg defendió la medida argumentando que los verificadores eran "demasiado sesgados" y que la política de moderación había "ido demasiado lejos".  Esta decisión llega en un contexto políticamente cargado. Trump y sus aliados han criticado duramente a Meta, acusando a la compañía de censurar voces conservadoras. La eliminación de los verificadores y el traslado de los equipos de moderación de contenido de California a Texas, estado con leyes conservadoras, alimenta la narrativa de un giro hacia la derecha. Por otro lado, activistas de derechos digitales y organizaciones contra la desinformación advierten sobre los riesgos de confiar en un modelo donde los usuarios controlan la precisión de la información. Ava Lee, de Global Witness, lo describió como "un intento descarado de complacer al próximo gobierno".  El cambio ha sido celebrado por figuras como Elon Musk, quien afirmó que la medida es "un paso inteligente" hacia la libertad de expresión. Sin embargo, expertos como Jasmine Enberg, de eMarketer, alertan sobre el impacto en la seguridad de marca y la posible disminución de anunciantes preocupados por el contenido controversial. Mientras tanto, Meta asegura que seguirán moderando contenido relacionado con autolesiones y desórdenes alimenticios. Pero la incertidumbre persiste: algunos temen que al eliminar restricciones, aumenten los discursos de odio y la desinformación. En Europa, la medida podría ser inviable debido a regulaciones más estrictas.  La influencia política también ha marcado otros movimientos de Meta. Recientemente, la empresa reemplazó al centrista Nick Clegg por Joel Kaplan, exasesor de George W. Bush, conocido por apoyar causas conservadoras. Además, la incorporación de Dana White, aliado de Trump y CEO de la UFC, al directorio de Meta refuerza la percepción de un sesgo político. Zuckerberg también se reunió con Trump en Mar-a-Lago semanas antes de anunciar la eliminación de los verificadores. Por otro lado, la organización Full Fact, parte del programa de verificación en Europa, calificó la decisión como un "retroceso".  Wikipedia, por ejemplo, se autoregula mediante editores voluntarios y revisiones comunitarias rigurosas con reglas claras para garantizar calidad y neutralidad. En cambio, X confía en un sistema de "notas comunitarias" donde los usuarios aportan contexto de manera colaborativa, pero algunos críticos advierten que puede amplificar ciertas perspectivas.¿Qué opinas de este cambio? ¿Crees que aumentará la libertad de expresión o abrirá la puerta a más desinformación?

A diverse workforce drives innovation, expands markets, and fuels growth. Let's focus on building a future where all talent thrives." He concluded his post on X with the hashtag, "InclusiveEconomy." While businesses began to announce their departures from DEI policies last year, Raikes urged companies to expand such practices at work, insisting that scaling down DEI in businesses would harm the economy.Robbie Starbuck: “I fully endorse cancelling memberships at this point.”McDonald's rolls back DEI programs, ending push for greater diversityFour years after launching a push for more diversity in its ranks,McDonald's said it will retire specific goals for achieving diversity at senior leadership levels. It also intends to end a program that encourages its suppliers to develop diversity training and to increase the number of minority group members represented within their own leadership ranks.Managers 'touch up' staff: McDonald's faces fresh abuse claimsFast-food chain McDonald's has been hit by fresh allegations of sexual and homophobic abuse as staff members allege they have been 'touched up' by managers and offered extra shifts for sex.The chain first faced bombshell claims of widespread sexual abuse and harassment at its stores in July 2023 and has since been reported more than 300 times for harassment to the UK's equality watchdog.Allegations have included racist abuse, sexual assault and harassment and bullying. BlackRock Cuts Back on Board Diversity Push in Proxy-Vote GuidelinesThe policy updates remove both (a) numerical diversity targets (i.e., boards should aspire to 30% diversity of membership and have at least 2 women directors and 1 director from an underrepresented group) and (b) the related disclosure-based voting policy (i.e., BlackRock previously would consider taking voting action if a company did not adequately explain its approach to board diversity) – but provides that BlackRock may consider taking voting action if an S&P 500 board is not sufficiently diverse (BlackRock includes a footnote in the policy update suggesting that 30% diversity may still be the expectation).BlackRock's investment stewardship team tweaked the language used to describe how it approaches votes for other companies' boards. It didn't explicitly recommend that boards should aspire to at least 30% diversity of their members, after having done so in previous years.The report noted, however, that all but 2% of the boards of companies in the S&P 500 have diverse representation of at least 30%—and that if companies were out of step with those norms, BlackRock may cast opposing votes on a case-by-case basis.

Here's where the ‘winter vomiting disease' is spreading and whyMATT1CostcoNational Center for Public Policy Research filed the proxy with CostcoTheir arguments include…US Supreme court decision at HarvardA $25m judgment in PA for white regional manager at Starbucks who was fired after two black patrons were arrested for being blackThis gem: “With 310,000 employees, Costco likely has at least 200,000 employees who are potentially victims of this type of illegal discrimination because they are white, Asian, male or straight.”This, perhaps, is the greatest ironic argument for “meritocracy” ever made in historyThey point out that the MAJORITY OF THE STAFF is white, Asian, male, or straight… but they don't even use Costco's data, they source census data and just guessThe real numbers:Non management is 44.2% white, management is 58% white - a 14% increase in meritocracyExecutives are 80.6% white - a whopping 36.4% more meritHispanics are 33.1% of non management, 23.3% of management - 9.8% less merit!Executives are 5.8% Hispanic, 26.3% less meritAsians are 8.5% and 7.1%, so 1.4% less merit7.9% executive - so even merit?US Exec management is 72.3% maleSo 80.6% of executives are white, and 72.3% are male - and the argument NCPPR is making is that BECAUSE there are a lot of white males, there is a lot of RISK that THE WHITE MALES WILL SUE YOU if they think they're discriminated againstThink of what they're saying - because you have so many non diverse people, you can't have diversity programs for risk of lawsuitThe response dropped the pretense that the proxy was anything except racismThe proponent professes concern about legal and financial risks to the Company and its shareholders associated with the diversity initiatives. The proponent's broader agenda is not reducing risk for the Company but abolition of diversity initiatives. A 2023 federal district court decision, in a case brought by the proponent, noted that the proponent had "published a document called 'Balancing the Boardroom 2022,' which describes its shareholder activism as 'fighting back' against 'the evils of woke politicized capital and companies.' [The proponent went] on to describe 'CEOs and other corporate executives who are most woke and most hard-left political in their management of their corporations' as 'inimical to the Republic and its blessings of liberty' and 'committed to critical race theory and the socialist foundations of woke' or 'shameless monsters who are willing to sacrifice our future for their comforts.'" National Center for Public Policy Research v. Schultz, E.D. WA. (Sept. 11, 2023). And the proponent's efforts to demonstrate retrenchment on the part of companies are misleading, at best. For example, the assertion that "Microsoft laid off an entirea[sic] DEI team" is simply wrong.

Former UK deputy prime minister Nick Clegg is to step down from his role at Meta.He is due to be replaced by former Republican White House deputy chief of staff Joel Kaplan, who served under George W Bush from 2006-2009.Ian Guider joined Will O'Callaghan for Friday's business slot.Hit the ‘Play' button on this page to hear the conversation.

Na zeven jaar bij Meta verlaat Nick Clegg, voormalig vice-premier van het VK, zijn rol als topman voor mondiaal beleid bij het bedrijf. Zijn positie wordt overgenomen door Joel Kaplan, die als uitgesproken Trumpist en Republikein bekend staat. Kaplan diende al eerder voor het Witte Huis als plaatsvervangend stafchef in de regering van George W. Bush. Sinds 2011 werkt Kaplan voor Meta. Hij is uitgesproken Republikein en krijgt binnen Meta kritiek van collega's omdat hij een conservatieve agenda zou aanhouden. Dat tast volgens mensen binnen het bedrijf de politiek neutrale status van Meta aan. Toch schuift Zuckerberg nu juist Kaplan naar voren, om goede sier te maken bij aankomend President Donald Trump. Kaplan heeft goede banden met het Trump-team en was onder andere aanwezig bij de opening van de beurs door Trump en J.D. Vance in december. De CEO van Meta deed al meerdere pogingen om een goede band met Trump op te bouwen. Hij doneerde een miljoen dollar aan de inauguratie van Trump en ging langs voor een diner bij de man. Daarnaast werden vorig jaar alle sociale media-accounts van Trump opengesteld, zonder beperkingen, nadat Trump in zijn vorige presidentstermijn juist werd verbannen van de platforms.

Critics warn of potential risks, but proponents argue AI can assist, not replace, human oversight in simplifying legal complexities for modern governance.

Veo also integrates SynthID watermarks for content attribution. OpenAI lags with its Sora model as businesses increasingly adopt generative AI for revenue growth. Meta Reports AI Had Limited Impact on 2024 Elections Meta's Nick Clegg stated that generative AI had a modest influence on global elections in 2024, with Meta effectively countering disinformation using advanced tools. AI-generated deepfakes and misinformation were quickly exposed, but concerns remain about disinformation on other platforms like TikTok.

Recorded a year after Nick Clegg left office, this is a fascinating evening with someone who served as Deputy Prime Minister for 5 years. The coalition government may seem like distant history now, but Nick Clegg was a political phenomenon. His performance in the 2010 Election TV Debates helped propel his party into government. This is packed with fascinating and hilarious reflections of a unique time in British politics, long before Mark Zuckerberg signed him up.

How much transparency do big technology companies owe to their users? The question has become pointed in recent years as users, researchers, and politicians voice discontent about the absence of public information available about how platforms moderate and amplify content. Today, Meta's President of Global Affairs, Nick Clegg, announced a new initiative to provide more information about how the company's ranking algorithms work on Facebook and Instagram. On this episode of Arbiters of Truth, Lawfare's occasional series on the information ecosystem, Lawfare Senior Editors Quinta Jurecic and Alan Rozenshtein talked with Clegg about how Meta has approached transparency for both users and researchers. They also discussed Clegg's controversial 2021 essay on how Meta's algorithms interact with user preferences.Meta provides support for Lawfare's Digital Social Contract paper series. This podcast episode is not part of that series, and Meta does not have any editorial role in Lawfare.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare. Hosted on Acast.
