A think tank has released two deepfake videos which appear to show election rivals Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn advocating each other for Britain's top role. The clips are produced by Future Advocacy and intend to show that people can no longer necessarily trust what they see in videos, not just to question what they read and hear.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson delivered his first speech in the Parliament on Thursday, promising to unleash a "new golden age for the United Kingdom" and leaving the European Union by the Oct. 31 deadline. Johnson, who formally took office on Wednesday, made a fiery speech in the parliament in a bid to turbocharge the effort to execute Brexit "for the purpose of uniting and re-energizing our great United Kingdom and making this country the greatest place on earth." He said that despite the looming Oct. 31 deadline, there's time to renegotiate with the European bloc and remains optimistic that a new deal can be reached. "This is the first day of a new approach which will start with our departure from the European Union on October 31 ... beginning new golden age for the United Kingdom." "This is the first day of a new approach which will start with our departure from the European Union on October 31," Johnson said, adding that it will mark the beginning of a "new golden age for the United Kingdom." Johnson also assured EU citizens currently living in the country that they would have "absolute certainty" of their right to live and remain in the country after Brexit.

LONDON - Thousands of protesters greeted President Donald Trump's U.K. visit with anger and British irony Tuesday, crowding London's government district while the U.S. leader met Prime Minister Theresa May nearby. Feminists, environmentalists, peace activists, trade unionists and others demonstrated against the lavish royal welcome being given to a president they see as a danger to the world, chanting "Say it loud, say it clear, Donald Trump's not welcome here." "I'm very cross he's here," said guitar teacher Katie Greene, carrying a home-made sign reading "keep your grabby hands off our national treasures" under a picture of one of Queen Elizabeth II's corgis. My sign is flippant and doesn't say the things I'd really like to say." A day of protests began with the flying of a giant blimp depicting the president as an angry orange baby, which rose from the grass of central London's Parliament Square. One group came dressed in the red cloaks and bonnets of characters from Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale," which is set in a dystopian, misogynist future America. Demonstrators filled Trafalgar Square and spilled down Whitehall, a street lined with imposing government offices, before marching half a mile to Parliament. Many paused to photograph a robotic likeness of Trump sitting on a golden toilet, cellphone in hand. The robot caught the attention of passers-by with its recitation of catchphrases including "No collusion" and "You are fake news." "It's 16 feet high, so it's as large as his ego," said Don Lessem from Philadelphia, who built the statue from foam over an iron frame and had it shipped by boat across the Atlantic. Lessem, a dinosaur expert who makes models of prehistoric creatures, said "I'm interested in things that are big, not very intelligent and have lost their place in history." "I wanted people here to know that people in America do not support Trump in the majority .

The head of the NHS in England, Simon Stevens, is in the news this morning. According to the Times, five million patients a month are waiting more than three weeks to see their GP. And the paper says 1,000 fewer family doctors are in post than when ministers pledged to recruit an extra 5,000 in 2015. Mr Stevens' plan for joined up care to keep patients out of hospital "relies on beefed-up GP surgeries offering more treatment and co-ordination locally, but despite extra money, £20,000 'golden hellos' and overseas recruitment drives, numbers continue to fall", the Times adds. Meanwhile, Mr Stevens is said to be at loggerheads with Downing Street, the Treasury and Department of Health and Social Care about how much his long-term plan for the health service can promise to boost care.

Robots in the workplace should be owned and controlled by workers rather than bosses, Jeremy Corbyn will suggest. The Labour leader, who has previously warned of the risk to jobs of automation, will say new technology has led to "a more rapacious and exploitative form of capitalism". He will also suggest "gig economy" firms like Uber could be replaced by co-operatives. Drivers would collectively agree their own pay and conditions, he will say. Earlier this year, a study by accountancy firm PwC said robotics and artificial intelligence could affect almost a third of UK jobs by the 2030s, with "more manual, routine jobs" which "can effectively be programmed" the most at risk.

Jeremy Corbyn will today hint at fresh taxes on firms that replace people with robots as he calls for a'new settlement between work and leisure'. The Labour leader will use his set piece party conference speech to say that, with automation due to destroy millions of jobs in the coming decades, the state needs to intervene to ensure the benefits are shared across society. 'We need urgently to face the challenge of automation; robotics that could make so much of contemporary work redundant,' he will say. 'That is a threat in the hands of the greedy but what an opportunity if it's managed in the interests of society as a whole. 'If planned and managed properly, accelerated technological change can be the gateway for a new settlement between work and leisure, a springboard for creativity and culture, making technology our servant and not our master at long last.' Labour has previously toyed with the idea of a'universal basic income', which would effectively see everyone put on benefits.

So Philip Hammond unveiled his big hairy budget. The Chancellor had touted this as an "upbeat budget". A phrase that makes as much sense as "diet fish supper" or "talented Honey G". The snoozefest included £500million to be spent on robots and artificial intelligence. At which point Hammond's eyes flashed red and he started shouting "malfunction, malfunction" until somebody turned him off at the back.

Much mirth ensued recently when Jeremy Corbyn's crack publicity team issued a photograph of the dear leader with a compressed quote from his speech: "We now face the task of creating a New Britain from the fourth industrial revolution – powered by the internet of things and big data to develop cyber physical systems and smart factories." One may be forgiven for suspecting that Corbyn had not a clue what he was uttering, but the "fourth industrial revolution" is an actual thing, at least according to some analysts. The first was steam-powered; the second electrical; the third the birth of the computer age; and the fourth – which some argue is just a continuation of the third – is the era of wearable gadgets, 3D printing, gene editing, machine intelligence and networked devices such as street lights full of electronic sensors, or smart fridges that order eggs when you've run out. The dream of networking ordinary objects with cheap processors and wireless communication comes under the rubric of "the internet of things", which is (or ought to be) short for "the internet of things that should not be connected to the internet". Inevitably, some bored teen will hack your smart fridge to flood your kitchen while you're away; the more urban infrastructure is computerised, the more vulnerable it will be to cyber-attack.

Jeremy Corbyn has likened the government to "a driverless car heading in the wrong direction", in his response to the Queen's Speech. The Labour leader said the raft of new policies would not make society more equal or create opportunities for all. He said the government failed to realise "cuts have consequences" as he attacked austerity as a "political choice not an economic necessity". Prison reform was the centrepiece of the government's plans. The government has also said it will publish details of a British Bill of Rights to replace the Human Rights Act.
