This is an excellent explainer. 👀 quote: “In rough terms, the workforce of CBP officers and Border Patrol agents commit crimes at an equal or even greater rate PER CAPITA than the population of undocumented immigrants do in the United States.”

This is, in my opinion, not only the correct moral/ethical/legal position but also the correct political framing. Everyone can see the agency is out of control; everyone can see that it is constantly violating human rights. "Scrap it and start over" is the moderate position.

I do think we sometimes forget: 1. We need high-skilled migrants to keep the NHS working, and to grow the economy 2. High-skilled migrants have a *lot* of choices over where to go And 3. We’ve been getting less attractive as a destination for years anyway (wages here famously suck)

The Government has talked the talk on regulatory reform, now it's time to walk the walk. With a new Business Secretary, I'm in City AM today arguing that Peter Kyle should boost growth by taking a fresh look at the Government's plans to cut red tape. www.cityam.com/new-business...

New business secretary should put deregulation top of his agenda

Peter Kyle becomes the tenth business secretary in as many years - he should go where his predecessors didn't and genuinely cut red tape

I really dislike how science has started calling almost any fancy computational technique AI. 🧪 The framing of this entire article makes it sound like a benevolent AI independently made these drugs. That is *pure fantasy*. Instead: a team of scientists made a machine learning model for a study.

Let 2025 be a year where the tech policy community thinks about how to actually be effective in achieving its goals of a better society. There are so many examples of abject failure and so few examples of success. Ethical frameworks, academic papers, and legislation do not equate to progress.
