#UK New analysis released today by the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) indicates that UK food prices are on track to be 50% higher by November 2026 compared to levels at the start of the cost-of-living crisis in mid-2021. This would suggest that the amount of price growth seen in the nearly 20 years prior to the crisis would be achieved in just over 5 years – almost quadrupling the pace of food inflation https://aboutmanchester.co.uk/warning-that-food-prices-on-track-to-have-risen-50-per-cent-in-five-years/ #ClimateChange #pollution #environment #climate

The Guardian | ‘Completely horrible’: UK job hunters share frustration with AI interviews by Jane Clinton AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Nearly half of UK job seekers (47%) have now faced an AI‑driven interview, and 30% say they have abandoned a hiring process because of it, according to a Greenhouse survey of 2,950 active applicants. Respondents describe the experience as awkward, impersonal and often humiliating: a university student likened it to “talking to a mirror” with no human feedback, a scientist felt “not even sure anybody watched the interview,” a marketing consultant found the format “completely horrible for the autistic brain,” and a project manager noted the AI’s inability to recognise pauses or body language. Many interviewees complain that questions are generic, time‑limited, and that feedback is vague, while the technology’s one‑way nature leaves candidates unable to engage the employer. The overall picture is a growing frustration with AI interview tools that many feel need a human touch to be effective.

#UK 8 in 10 Brits would be concerned if the UK became reliant on America for gas, as US imports rise over 40% in 2026 01 May. 2026 Nearly three in five (56%) people say the UK should prioritise transitioning to renewable energy and net zero technologies, such as solar and heat pumps, to meet its future energy needs https://eciu.net/media/press-releases/8-in-10-brits-would-be-concerned-if-the-uk-became-reliant-on-america-for-gas-as-us-imports-rise-over-40-in-2026 #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

Littlepay has been selected for Project Coral, a Department for Transport-funded programme central to the #UK Government’s Better Connected strategy to modernise ticketing. It aims to simplify contactless #travel across multiple operators and modes, enabling regional pay-as-you-go journeys with automatic fare capping. The system allows passengers to use a single contactless payment, removing the need for multiple tickets or advance planning. A shared broker platform will link operators and payment systems, integrating existing #infrastructure while supporting accurate fare calculation and revenue sharing, with Euclid providing settlement services. Initially launching on bus and tram services in the West Midlands, the programme supports wider bus reform and franchising goals. Littlepay’s EMV-based platform and modular design were key to its selection. Development is set to begin soon, with deployment planned for 2027 and potential expansion across the UK. https://littlepay.com/resource-hub/blog/articles/littlepay-selected-for-landmark-dft-funded-national-programme/

yo what the actual fuck, just had the nutjobs from the reform party come to my door and ask for me by my name. I always say to keep my name off of the public registry so interesting where they got it. that's one thing, the second thing, they have so much money for canvassers, leaflets and shit, unbelievable. Told them to fuck off, but should have probably engaged them a bit more in hope of changing their mind, but just was seething instead. fuck. #uk #ukpol

“The Secret British Intelligence War on Iran” by David Miller in Tracking Power Update @palestine@fedibird.com @Palestine@masto.ai @palestine@lemmy.ml @iran @BBCNews@flipboard.com @BBC@c.im “British intelligence spearheaded the overthrow of Iran’s elected prime minister in 1953, bribed officials, staged chaos and used the BBC for a coded coup signal — all to protect oil profits — after previously treating Zionist extremists as the top national security threat. Later and until today, they targeted the Islamic Republic of Iran and developed close collaborations with the Mossad” https://open.substack.com/pub/trackingpower/p/the-secret-british-intelligence-war #Press #SocialMedia #UK #Intelligence #MI5 #MI6 #Iran #Mossad #Mossadegh #Coup #BigOil #Israel #Irgun #SternGang #BBC #Nuclear
