AI minister Kendall says she doesn't use AI at work
Liz Kendall, the cabinet minister in charge of Artificial Intelligence (AI), has revealed she does not use AI in her job.

Ministers and retailers have been urged to stop China from being used as a back door for Russian-caught fish to bypass trade barriers and get sneaked onto British supermarket shelves.

Trade experts, campaigners and members of the British fishing industry have called for more to be done to tackle the issue amid an alleged “systemic failure” of transparency and regulation.
