The government’s spending review sets budgets for all government departments for the coming four years.

The AI action plan was first introduced by Prime Minister Keir Starmer in January, when the government announced plans to mainline “AI into the veins” of the UK and throw “the full weight of Whitehall behind this industry”.

Last year, Mick Jagger started feeling restless. Seventeen years had passed since the Rolling Stones had released an album of original material, and though they’d toured regularly — and made the difficult choice to soldier on after the devastating 2021 death of drummer Charlie Watts — the on-and-off sessions they’d held for a potential new LP over the past decade hadn’t produced much they could use.
