Labour Party

Labour's Northern Ireland Troubles Bill returns to the House of Commons on Monday for extended debate and votes on proposed changes, as the government defends amendments that would require the attorney general's consent for serious prosecutions and reduce repeat investigations of veterans, drawing criticism from both nationalist and unionist parties and from victims' groups.

A number of senior Labour figures have privately identified the power of unregulated artificial intelligence as their deepest concern, with one cabinet minister describing the threat of super-intelligent power in the hands of bad actors as the issue keeping them up at night, according to party sources.
