Michel shock: France’s government falls
Michel Barnier, Emmanuel Macron, Rosie Bloor, Jason Palmer, Sophie Petter, Henry Tricks, Rachel Lloyd, Jared Brown

In the corporate sector, while individual generative AI adoption remains high, widespread business implementation is stalled by regulatory uncertainty, legal liabilities, and a severe shortage of skilled specialists. Simultaneously, the UK gin industry faces a contraction threat as record duty hikes and rising costs dampen demand for spirits, driving a shift toward non-alcoholic alternatives despite a decade of explosive growth.
