Is Rishi Sunak close to a deal on the Northern Ireland protocol? – BBC Newsnight

Published

on



Attempts to break the impasse over the Northern Ireland protocol – the deal covering trade with the EU and Great Britain – have been described by the Democratic Unionists as “hopeful” and by Sinn Fein as “very positive”.

There’s a lot riding on it – not just the possibility of getting devolved government back up and running in Northern Ireland, but also changing the wider political atmosphere with the European Union.

Billions in science funding, for example, are being held back by the EU while the Northern Ireland protocol issue remains blocked. That’s just one example how both the government and Labour’s aspirations to make Brexit work better depend on a solution.

    Let's mark Von der Leyen's card. If she comes into the office of the chief executive of our national sovereignty and attempts to subvert our sovereignty by imposing her constituency's domineering political agenda over our national life she should be shown the door. She should not be allowed to sit there and dictate how this negotiation shall turn out. She can think again.

    I do hope we can beg the EU to give us permission to trade in goods and services in part of our own country.

    Sunak showed his colours when he appointed Hunt to chancellor…..His leadership is toxic and the only way the Conservatives can cling to power in the next GE is to front it with the likes of Boris backed by people like Rees-Mogg….Sunak has spurned the very MP's that won the 80 seat majority which he is about to throw away…..Disgusting that Sunak delayed the Care Bill which almost certainly will never be implemented now….Disgusting that they are going to hand out passports and national insurance numbers like confetti to illegal migrants which is the biggest advertisement ever for attracting more illegals….Sunak and Hunt must go….Conservative MP's should act on it now….!!!

    We have zero confidence in these inept corrupt politicians any more. Just like the BBC … It's not reliable or fair.
    We must never vote Conservative or Labour again. It's time for real change.

    You will never put a border in the Republic of Ireland or In the Irish sea…Because its…The IRISH sea.
    England sea North of Ireland as a boil on their posterior.

    The right deal is accept BREXIT is a disaster 🙄 The only way to make things right is to Go Back to the EU. Doubts??? No there is no doubt at all UK are in circle's and this is causing chaos. Everything is a completely mess around just because the Government are not assuming all the mistakes they did . Hope The ones who can assume it can understand how urgent is to accept that BREXIT is the problem 😕

    What ‘practical problems’ Sunak?
    NI is fairing relatively compared to rUK in terms of Brexit impact.
    What ‘democratic deficit ‘ Sunak?
    NI voted to stay in EU .
    A minority wants to inflict the full measure of Brexit pain rUK is experiencing.

    After the Supreme Court in England ruled that the Northern Ireland Protocol is lawful, Rishi Sunak should now do the decent thing & retain it, which is what a majority of MLAs (MPs), citizens, & businesses in Northern Ireland want anyway!

  23. @Crusader4Justice

    January 6, 2024 at 9:05 pm

    No, and none of you ever will, Tory or Labour. The reality is Brexit made it clear to the rest of the British Isles (and the world) just how reckless and self-centered the English are — and just how little they give a fig about any country that isn’t England. That very much includes Scotland and Ireland.

    Perhaps this time, the Scots will vote in favor of an independence referendum, and Ireland will finally reunite. Considering that England has completely tanked the British economy and destroyed the NHS (perhaps irreparably), and that the Tories continue to fail the People year after year, there’s really only one question left: why TF would ANYONE even want to remain in the UK?

    I foresaw it the moment the word “Brexit” was first bandied about: the true demise of the UK. And it makes me so damn sad.

‘Is Anthropic the new Dr Frankenstein?’ | BBC News

Published

on



AI Decoded speaks to leading tech podcaster Scott Galloway about the growing controversy surrounding Anthropic’s latest AI model, Claude Mythos.

During testing, the system uncovered thousands of hidden vulnerabilities in the software underpinning most of the world’s computers — prompting Anthropic to decide it was too dangerous to release.

The company says Mythos can outperform humans at certain hacking and cyber‑security tasks, raising fresh concerns among regulators, lawmakers and financial institutions about the risks to global digital infrastructure.

Also on the show, we reveal how US students are changing their majors at university in order to ‘AI proof’ their future careers and how nearly half of Gen Z would like to turn back the clock to the late 90’s before AI was even a thing.

Joining Christian Fraser is the BBC’s AI correspondent Marc Cieslak and AI Decoded co-host Priya Lakhani.
