Somebody at HMRC needs to be canned for this idiotic ‘fraud-detection’ idea. And I fear future use of AI in welfare cases might well produce this kind of story regularly (as they have in Nevada for example).

Right, the debate has been opened to the floor, and we're going off-piste. Rupert, a Reform member from Reading, says a video exists of Klaus Schwab, the former WEF chief, saying he "is controlling and training up all the world leaders". Um, really?
