>The median staff salary offered by i. AI was £67,300 in 2024-25, almost double the £35,680 of the civil service.

That is why they dont want to work for UK Gov. Even if they were paying at market rate, the whole internal politics, policy and bureaucracy and not getting things done will not be attractive enough for talents.

It is a very sad state of things. UK Gov have no idea of how anything should cost, throwing money out and only to learn they was not what they wanted or after.

>Labour has since expanded the plan and has said i.AI would be used in “targeting” efficiencies of up to £45bn a year.

Peter Kyle said this and he is now moved on to Secretary of State for Business and Trade. The whole thing is like a clown show.
