What powers would Scottish Labour like Andy Burnham to devolve *now*, under an SNP Scottish Government?

Rory Stewart says politicians must “call b******t” on AI companies’ resistance to regulation.

[Times Radio @TimesRadio]

"I actually laughed because it was so ludicrous."

A view from inside Scotland’s civil service

@calumAM reads a message sent into the podcast from a senior figure within Scotland’s civil service.

They claim that they are forced to work in outdated and dysfunctional offices, and that the Scottish Government’s recruitment freeze has created a situation where there are few prospects for growth.

“When you govern without any evident regard for the voters who elected you; when you start a war with no proper explanation for it and no real plan to end it; when that war results in punishingly high prices for the things people need to live by, on top of the higher prices they already have to pay because you raised taxes on imports on a whim and a lunatic economic theory; when you use your office to enrich yourself and your cronies with lucrative deals on a scale that would make the Bourbons blush; when you direct law enforcement to spend their time prosecuting your political foes; when you side with America’s enemies and menace its friends; when you act as though the only things that matter to you are putting your name on government buildings and constructing a ballroom; above all, when you tell voters that criticism of all this is fake news and they just need to get in line and do what they’re told … when you do all this, is anyone surprised when voters say: “You’re fired”?”
