Nigel Farage is using AI to do his own job - will he automate yours too? Farage revealed yesterday that Reform UK used AI to vet their candidates. š± No wonder we found so many of them to harbour extreme and racist views.

Librarians in UK increasingly asked to remove books, as influence of US pressure groups spreads
Anecdotal evidence suggests a rise in requests to take books off shelves, particularly LGBTQ+ titles Requests to remove books from library shelves are on the rise in the UK, as the influence of pressure groups behind book bans in the US crosses the Atlantic, according to those working in the sector. Although āthe situation here is nowhere [near] as bad, censorship does happen and there are some deeply worrying examples of library professionals losing their jobs and being trolled online for standing up for intellectual freedom on behalf of their usersā, said Louis Coiffait-Gunn, CEO of the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (Cilip).

Jane Scott, the shadow housing minister, recently hosted a roundtable meeting with several of the countryās largest landlords and estate agents, at which they discussed a number of ways to delay or stop the bill altogether.
