An interesting NHS case re misconduct. The delay in raising misconduct concerns with an employee may make a dismissal unfair if the delay prevents them from properly defending themselves.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

The ITV News investigation into the illegal weight loss jab market is truly shocking.
This is clearly a huge problem that the regulator is not tackling. That is why I have written to the MHRA calling on them to crack down on this black market now.

I tend to agree with this. If AI works like its cheerleaders claim/hope it will - replacing whole swathes of human labour - then they need a real economic plan for dealing with the consequences of that. This can only mean heavily redistributing the profits.
you either need universal basic income for humans or you must limit the use of Gen AI in such a way that humans aren’t radically impoverished as a result.
you cannot have both, both for morality reasons and also because this is the kind of thing that can result in globally-nightmarish conflict.

This seems more like an argument for universal basic income than for limiting technology. (I think both are probably futile in the current political environment, but I’d prefer the latter.)
