Times journalist Gabrielle Sivia Weiniger tweeted the below image purporting to show Israeli president Isaac Herzog hobnobbing with convicted paeodophile Jeffrey Epstein:
The post remained online for a few hours before Weiniger realised the blindingly obvious, which is the photo is AI-generated. She has since deleted it and apologised for her “grave error in judgement for reposting the photo, and to the president for any harm this has caused“. A bad week for the Times, especially after that Mandelson cover…
Speaking about Morgan McSweeney’s resignation, skills minister Jacqui Smith told Times Radio:
“It’s clearly not ideal but I do understand why Morgan, as he explained, decided to resign at this point. But the important thing as you say is how we both tackle what this Epstein and Mandelson scandal has identified and also how we make sure, as the prime minister is absolutely determined to, that we continue the change that the country needs and that’s what I’m focusing on this morning.”
