The FDA is planning to halt most routine food safety inspections, shifting oversight to state and local authorities, CBS News reports. The move follows mass HHS layoffs and raises concerns about diminished federal oversight and strained local food safety programs.

This is why mooting 'ditching net-zero' as the solution to Labour's woes is so silly. It's a policy that is popular with their core voters, critical to progressive voters they need to woo back, and Reform voters are sceptical but it's way down their priority list.

Having worked in the US and UK for over a decade each in the tech industry, the main difference is managerial and executive competence.
My theory is that it's a consequence of the class system and public schools leading to a smaller talent pool. Plus, the confusing of 'leadership' and management.

As someone who works in the sector, it still amazes me that so many bad managers fail upwards. And, the ones who are on the ground making it all work, to the detriment of their health, hardly ever get the recognition & £ they deserve.
