3⃣ Public sector pay awards have been lagging behind the cost-of-living for years. Civil servants have done particularly badly. This year the Government capped offers at 2 to 3%.

I think we can call it shut on 'Open' AI: the 98 page paper introducing GPT-4 proudly declares that they're disclosing *nothing* about the contents of their training set.

Blimey. Buried in the Mark Harper statement on HS2 is an announcement that of £710m promised on active travel in 2021, only £100m more will be spent. £230m is spent so far.

That's a *£380m cut* - more than halving the spend on walking & cycling amid climate and health crises.
