Parliamentary work can sometimes feel like trying to drink from a firehose. In the course of a single day, a Member of Parliament must take a position on everything from energy systems and civil preparedness to AI, education, and healthcare – while the flow of information never pauses. In a society where algorithms favour the emotionally charged over the accurate, and where “quick truths” spread faster than well-founded conclusions, the question is not only what we know – but how we know it.
