The Tony Blair piece is actually a good read.
Apart from the AI bits which do suggest an agenda.
There's so much about AI these days but very little tangible detail on what it will/could change.

This is the chef's kiss of Reform policy ideas.
The perfect example of public appeal vs retarded policy. Which is really what Reform is all about.
There are so many ways this would will be abused or backfire so I will list them all.
1. I said last night, company directors/owners will suddenly be earning 60 hours weeks every week (but not really).
2. Employee collusion - Business convert salaried roles to lower rate hourly pay, but pays fake "overtime". The employee gets more take home pay but the employer's payroll costs reduce.
3. Diversion - Many jobs don't pay overtime. Teachers for example. If they did, we'd be bankrupt. Why go into teaching on ยฃ35k a year when you could earn that on less hours with overtime elsewhere?
Efficiently run company don't have overtime opportunities at all, making them less attractive than those that do.
4. Unfair advantage - Let's say your a small landscaping company employing 5 guys by gaming the system above. You have an unfair advantage over the bigger company playing by the rules. Jobs will be lost as smaller, less scrupulous companies gain advantage over those that play by the rules.
5. It shrinks the job market - Offering overtime becomes a recruitment advantage. In which case employing 5 people to do a job with overtime is better than employing 6 with none.
6. It can shrink productivity - It's now in your interest to stretch your workload over more hours or game the system. Which means more hours worked for the same production.
7. If you think the answer is that there will be increased compliance enforcement and auditing from an already overwhelmed HMRC when Reform want to cut the civil service I'm afraid you're mistaken.
Roy Keane on Jordan Henderson... ๐ฌ
โClearly Jordanโs not fit - I donโt think he should be involvedโฆ Iโve heard people say they want him around the place - for what? Does he do card tricks? Does he have a sing song? Does he do quizzes in the evenings?โ
