The AI layoff gamble is backfiring.

Companies that rushed to replace workers with AI are now cleaning up the mess, per The Guardian.

Meta scaled back plans to cut staff and use more AI agents after employees spent growing time cleaning up the agents’ technical and security errors. It’s now rehiring managers.
Microsoft and McKinsey are limiting employee AI use as costs pile up.
Walmart workers say AI scheduling and task tools set impossible standards and generate false alerts.

The payoff isn’t showing up: 90% of executives say AI hasn’t yet boosted productivity at their companies, per an Atlanta Fed working paper.

Yet more than 112,000 US job cuts this year have cited AI, per Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

If elected as Mayor of London, all of these floating bus stops and LTNs will be removed. We will return to national Highway Code established speed limits, and common sense will be brought back to City Hall.

The number of businesses in Britain has fallen by 104,000 since 2025, taking the total down to 5.6m, government figures have revealed.

The main contributor to the decline was the loss of 157,000 self-employed people. It's not surprising that the self-employed are quitting in Tax Difficult" requirement to force them to file tax returns five times a year has pushed out many.

The upcoming requirement to pay tax early will make cash flow very challenging and force many more self-employed out of the market.

The more you look at yesterday's Bank of England rate hike, the more obvious it becomes that the Bank has once again cocked up on its main job. As @DilipShah_ points out, the Bank should not have cut rates until the 2pc inflation target was sustainably met. Now it faces tightening into a fast cooling economy

A recession is coming. Anecdotally, loads of redundos already happening. Economy showed remarkable resilience to the first tightening cycle. Seems v unlikely it will cope with a second. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/ac…

The station bridge is having work done this weekend, surely they could provide a proper exit and entry point at some stage

It’s sad that station improvements are so glacial to get resolved by southern rail, you would think this would be a priority for them. I’m waiting to hear back from the club re a previous match issue.
It would be helpful if people being touched could get in contact with us. It‘s not something we have had reported to us before.
