US tech giant has landed NHS contract – we’re fighting back - Good Law Project

Good Law Project

#JeremyHunt has drunk the Kool Aid on #ArtificialIntelligence;

In the #AutumnStatement he'll justify #tax cuts with the prospect that #AI will so increase #civilservice #productivity that the proceeds can reduce taxes.

Of course, he's not going to wait for that to actually happen, oh no; he's going to reduce the taxes now, because if the 'efficiency gains' don't appear (they likely won't to the extent he predicts), it'll be someone else's fiscal problem

Or he's just using it as an excuse...

How many times do we tories have to tell you, this is not extravagant. James (not so) Cleverly is a high ranking busy Tory cabinet minister. We all know what that means,…he hates travelling with poor people, you know us, we’re tories, we hate you plebs

Cheaper rates could be applied to people in England and Wales who install water butts under plans unveiled by regulator

Call me a radical lefty, but I don’t think a Supreme Court Justice and his family should have business dealings with a GOP megadonor.

So apparently Twitter is now flagging my #TechLetters Substack newsletter as "Potentially Harmful".

I can neither confirm nor deny :)

However, this month I’ll explore how to fill a complaint with @[email protected] in terms of anticompetitive practice. Might Twitter be in breach of EU competition provisions?
