This is your semi-regular reminder that pensioner poverty: a) is real b) is significantly less prevalent than working-age poverty and half the rate of child poverty, and c) is such that a pensioner is statistically more likely to live in a household worth over £1 million than to live in poverty

Let's be clear. The is nonsense. 1. There is limited evidence at best to show that AI will safely reduce processing costs and increase operational efficiency. 2. There is growing evidence that AI will vastly increase the loading on public services and require more human agents.

As a matter of logic you cannot be “hard working” if you rely on the state pension. I hope ministers will keep (start?) explaining that the state pension isn’t paid out of an investment fund but by the contributions of those currently working.

Badenoch probably didn’t read / understand the report. Khan was looking at the narrow self interest of London retailers. What a surprise. And Cebr have given their clients what they want, and accepted the damage to their reputation. Thanks Dan.

When I worked in London the problem was parking as much as slow traffic speed. I usually parked the car, needed for other parts of the journey, and walked or used public transport. London is a nicer, cleaner, place than it was 20 years ago.

It's enormously depressing to see the Lib Dems loyally falling in behind the collective fantasy of our times: that you can cut taxes, rebuild public services & solve the massive problems confronting the public finances by pulling some magic lever marked "increased growth". This is just not serious.

Indeed yes, bog standard low margin bulk chemicals. Ratcliffe’s business model is built on cheap debt finance. Debt is no longer cheap and Ineos has racked up £18bn which it now struggles to service. Its debt was downgraded to junk status. Europe has massive petrochemicals overcapacity.

Locking people up for using drugs will never make sense to me. The people I've known who've used drugs, in spite of the threat of severe consequences, did so bc they are not/were not okay. Locking people in dungeons traumatizes them further and makes these patterns even harder to break.

If you chose to work for unhinged fascists then you‘re a bad person. And, I don‘t think it‘s nearly good enough for the Guardian to describe Palantir merely as ‘big tech‘. They aren‘t just big tech, they are overtly fascist militaristic big tech.
