@henrywinter @HughWoozencroft This is a terrible decision.

@HughWoozencroft good points, Hugh. It's just bizarre. England's best passer over range, imagine those switches to Gordon or Rashford

It's one thing when you have a fit Reece James or Trippier and Walker at their peak... but this...

@NadimJBaba @KakaniaUk23410 @BBCr4today I remembered mid question! And then thought best to leave it there.

@KakaniaUk23410 @BBCr4today @BBCSimonJack Yes, quite the.moment as one wondered: is he going to ask for more detail?

Prize for the crassest intro of the week goes to @BBCr4today: "a new documentary shows there is much more to her than being Mick Jagger's girlfriend." Her being the singer and artist Marianne Faithfull. WTAF.

@RemIsBuzzin That’s a v interesting point. Question is are you looking for AI to get to same decisions as human recruiters more quickly or make different and potentially better decisions.

@BBCSimonJack It's an interesting phenomenon. I wonder if it's any worse than the CV screening done by humans working at recruitment service providers. Arguably, it has the potential to be better. For sure, it's not hard to believe the LLMs might "know more" than recruitment "specialists".

ICYMI - PwC boss urges Chancellor to relax fiscal rules. "I don't see any way that the chancellor is going to find a way out of this without finding a way to loosen the rules around what we're willing to borrow," he said. Also says AI will not stop him hiring more graduates. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

What and where is the UK's strategic oil reserve. All countries that are member of the International Energy Association - like the UK - are required to keep reserves of oil in case of disruptions to global oil supplies. The EU has a similar mechanism. Both require countries to have roughly 90 days' worth of supply in reserve for moments like this. The oil itself is not in a single geographic location. Oil producers like Shell and BP keep stocks at terminals and refineries around the UK and can earmark stocks held elsewhere as counting towards their reserves. When it's released, it doesn't mean a sudden flood of new oil starts moving, it means that producers will make more available in the market for refineries to order. However, energy analysts have told the BBC that given there is a shortage of refining capacity, the release is not a magic switch to increase the flow of refined products like petrol and jet fuel. The releasing of the reserves is more of a confidence or sentiment boosting measure to reassure markets that governments have recognised the threats and are acting in co-ordination to address them. In short, it may not see oil prices fall but it may stop them climbing as much as they otherwise would have done.

Simon French not alone in this critique of UK energy policy. Many businesses and unions agree.

@GayCollins @AICPRESS @BBCBusiness Thank you Gay.

@lara_spirit @breeallegretti Congrats Lara. Great appointment.

Gas prices have doubled in last 2 days - highest level since October 2022. Equity markets down 2-3%, government borrowing costs up 0.3% in last 2 days. Got to feel a bit sorry for Rachel Reeves who was enjoying borrowing costs tracking down so far this year. Spikes may not be sustained of course but def cause for concern.

@robmarshall33 @JustinOnWeb @BBCr4today A busy one. Thanks Rob

@JustinOnWeb @BBCSimonJack brilliant this morning guys - Not the shift you expected I imagine even though……… Well done as ever @BBCr4today

Exclusive. Chancellor Rachel Reeves will approve deal to buy 23 helicopters from Yeovil based Leonardo supporting 3000 jobs the Italian owned firm warned were at risk. The decision effectively overrules MoD which had “deprioritised” the project. Full story to come.

@prodnose Top records. Got all of those. Enjoy.

We moved. We have now been in our new house 3 weeks and the chaos is calming down. Therefore tonight I will be in my candle lit office, drinking fine wines and playing really great records from the 1970s. If I were younger I would live stream the vibe. #Contentment
