The boss of one of Britain's largest and longest-established recruitment firms tells Sean Farrington that a radical overhaul of the tax system is needed to deal with the impact of AI on jobs. Elsewhere, he'll speak to the construction industry about the difficulties of working in a heatwave. Coffee shops can't sell iced coffee quick enough as Brits try to keep cool in the heat, we'll hear from an independent chain.
