AI Meets the Jobs Queue
Standard Chartered’s planned job cuts are another reminder that AI was sold as a way to remove boring work. The awkward bit is that quite a lot of boring work pays rent, buys food and keeps people just about attached to civilisation.
Late Payments Crackdown
The late-payments crackdown is aimed at big firms that treat small suppliers like unofficial lenders with worse terms. Mandatory interest and fines may finally remind them that ‘processing the invoice’ is not a lifestyle, a belief system or an acceptable hobby.
The Pound Discovers Employment Data
Sterling dipped after jobs figures showed employers cutting hiring and vacancies. Britain’s economy now seems to be running on weak data, political nerves and the brave assumption that everyone else has read the spreadsheet properly.
Labour’s Leadership Waiting Room
Andy Burnham polling ahead of Keir Starmer among Labour members gives Westminster something useful to pretend it is not staring at. The Makerfield by-election now has the feel of a corridor where everyone is walking normally, slightly too normally, past a door marked ‘future bother’.
Retirement Savings Cliff
The Pensions Commission says millions of people are under-saving for retirement, which is a neat way of saying the future has looked at the present and found the purse empty. People are being told to save more money, ideally from the money they do not currently have.
White-Collar Crime Gets a Conference
France, Switzerland, and the UK holding a conference on economic crime feels fitting. White-collar crime has always enjoyed travel, paperwork and a good jurisdictional misunderstanding. Now the people chasing it also need badges, panels and a London event with very serious coffee.
Miliband’s Name Returns
Ed Miliband, being urged towards another leadership bid, has the strange feel of British politics rummaging through an old drawer and finding a charger that might still work. Nothing says renewal quite like asking whether the previous chapter has become useful again.
Bafta Rolls On
Bafta’s TV Awards preparations continue, because even controversy has to respect the running order. The red carpet will be laid, the speeches will be timed, and the industry will briefly gather to celebrate television while quietly arguing about what television is supposed to be now.
The Rally Against Silence
A Downing Street rally against antisemitism asks the public to do something harder than disapprove privately. Britain is very good at quiet concern, folded neatly and kept indoors. Hatred tends to enjoy that arrangement. It leaves more room on the pavement.
Plaid Cymru Nears the Door
Plaid Cymru’s expectation to take the First Minister’s office would mark a hard turn in Welsh politics. Labour dominance has lasted long enough to feel like furniture, which makes any move towards change both dramatic and oddly practical: someone finally checking what is under the carpet.
Labour Studies Wales
Labour’s review of its losses in Wales has the familiar sound of a party asking voters what went wrong after voters have already answered rather loudly. There will be meetings, lessons and perhaps a few brave uses of the word ‘listening’. Politics does love a post-mortem with biscuits.
Hate Posted for an Audience
Two men convicted over antisemitic TikTok videos show how old hatred has learned to use new buttons. The platform changes, the performance improves, and the cowardice remains much the same: cruelty packaged for views, then surprise when the real world answers back.
Nottinghamshire Car Incident
A car striking five pedestrians in Nottinghamshire has left the usual awful mixture: injured people, police statements, public worry and a town trying to work out what happened on an ordinary street. Some stories are too grim for cleverness. This is one of them.
Twenty-Five Years of the Living Wage
The Living Wage Campaign turning twenty-five is a reminder that paying people enough to live on still has to be treated as an achievement. A quarter of a century later, the moral argument remains strangely fresh, mostly because the bills keep arriving with admirable punctuality.
Supply Chains Meet Reality
Supply chains were built for calm seas, cheap shipping and the comforting fiction that everything arrives just in time because civilisation is sensible. Global tensions have rather spoiled the mood. Britain may yet discover that resilience is what you talk about after the shelves look nervous.
Greener Gold Medals
UK Sport wants a net positive environmental impact by 2040, which is a bold target for a sector built on travel, venues, kit and international calendars. The aim is clear enough. The awkward part is making elite sport look less like a carbon-heavy spectacle with a recycling policy attached.
Funding the LA Dream
UK Sport is putting serious money behind LA 2028, because Olympic success apparently begins years earlier with spreadsheets, physios and people in tracksuits saying ‘marginal gains’ near a whiteboard. The medals come later. First comes the national ritual of funding hope very precisely.
