Retail sales, borrowing and AI

Business

On today’s episode of the Ian King Business podcast, economist Simon French looks into how the unusually warm weather in September led to a larger-than-expected fall in retail sales.

Ian also looks at UK government borrowing, and the artificial intelligence company behind the chatbot ChatGPT is reportedly in talks with investors about a possible sale of employee shares.
