Will government finally quit X?

Amid another row over whether ministers and their departments should stay on X, this week The Rundown takes a look at the role of social media in this government's communications.After AI tool Grok began creating non-consensual indecent images of women, and even child sexual abuse material, the long-running arguments over whether Downing Street should join the growing ranks of MPs and finally come off the website formerly known as Twitter were re-ignited, with the focus on what other methods they use to speak to people and get its messaging across.To discuss all that host Alain Tolhurst and PolHome reporter Zoe Crowther are joined by former Number 10 director of strategic communications, James Lyons, and later in the episode they talk to Labour MP Sarah Owen, chair of the Commons women and equalities committee.To sign up for our newsletters click herePresented by Alain Tolhurst, produced by Nick Hilton and edited by Ewan Cameron for Podot
