NHS staff shortages in England could exceed 570,000 by 2036, leaked document warns
Sun 26 Mar 2023 19.56 BST
The NHS in England needs a massive injection of homegrown doctors, nurses, GPs and dentists to avert a recruitment crisis that could leave it short of 571,000 staff, according to an internal document seen by the Guardian.
A long-awaited workforce plan produced by NHS England says the health service is already operating with 154,000 fewer full-time staff than it needs, and that number could balloon to 571,000 staff by 2036 on current trends.

Humza Yousaf: continuity candidate taking over as Scottish first minister
First published on Mon 27 Mar 2023 09.11 EDT
Humza Yousaf has been elected the first minority ethnic leader of the Scottish National party, in a narrow victory which will force him to confront deep divisions within his party.
He is almost certain to be confirmed as Scotland’s next first minister after the Scottish Greens said they would back his nomination on Tuesday, but he faces a significant internal challenge bringing the SNP’s warring wings together.

ChatGB: Tony Blair backs push for taxpayer-funded ‘sovereign AI’ to rival ChatGPT
Tech chiefs and former PM warn the UK risks being ‘left behind’ without action
The Telegraph
Woah. State funded A.I.? Now it really does feel like I'm living in a different, more futuristic reality.
Tech chiefs and former PM warn the UK risks being ‘left behind’ without action
The Telegraph
Britain should build a “sovereign” artificial intelligence (AI) bot to fix problems in the NHS and Whitehall or risk being dependent on overseas tech giants, ministers have been told.
The Government is being urged by scientific advisors to develop a taxpayer-funded system to rival the likes of ChatGPT, amid predictions from experts that AI will play an increasingly important role in modern life.
The Alan Turing Institute, Britain’s national AI agency, has been lobbying for state funding to develop a “sovereign” system that could be used in the NHS, in Whitehall and by intelligence services.
Former Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair and members of the Government’s Artificial Intelligence Council also backed the push for a British system, warning that the UK risked being “left behind” without action.

This is why i prefer postal voting as you don't need any of these to vote.

Re: UK News and Discussions
For various reasons (mainly job and family-related), I doubt I can move anytime soon, but I encourage others to do so, if they're able to. If I didn't have commitments here I'd probably move to New Zealand or Canada.
I'm sure Labour will win the next election. But I don't think they'll make a big enough difference to turn this country around, mainly due to Starmer being forced to pander to Lexiters/Boomers.
And if Labour win by a huge amount, they won't have the incentive to introduce proportional representation. The very thing that would actually kill off the Tories for the next 50+ years.
So we'll be stuck with a US-style political system, the Overton window becoming ever narrower, no chance of Brexit being reversed, and the UK continuing down this path of misery and stagnation.

It might be hard to believe Will but Canada and New Zealand actually have a worse housing crisis than the UK when you compare average earnings in each country to house prices in each country.
