The IRS has temporarily reassigned employees from IT and human capital offices to taxpayer services roles during the current filing season, as the agency grapples with staffing cuts. Affected staff have been placed on 120-day involuntary details as customer service representatives or tax examiners, with training beginning in late February. The move follows warnings from the Treasury Inspector General that the IRS has lost about 19% of its workforce since October 2025, including significant reductions in IT and filing-related staff, potentially jeopardizing system upgrades and modernization efforts. While the agency says the reassignments are intended to support taxpayers during its busiest period, some employees have raised concerns that diverting IT personnel could further delay technology projects and increase processing backlogs.

The Trades Union Congress (TUC) says efforts to close the gender pay gap will not be successful until 2056 if progress continues at the current rate. Currently, the gap stands at 12.8%, costing the average woman £2,548 annually. Women effectively work 47 days a year without pay compared to men. The TUC attributes the gap to part-time work due to caring responsibilities. Paul Nowak, TUC General Secretary, said: "Women have effectively been working for free for the first month and a half of the year compared to men." He added that the Employment Rights Act represents a crucial step towards achieving pay parity, as it will ban exploitative zero-hours contracts, which disproportionately affect women. The TUC has urged the government to enhance flexible working and childcare access to address this issue. Research released by the British Journal of Industrial Relations last year suggests that the gender pay gap may have been underestimated for more than 20 years: the Office for National Statistics had failed to properly account for the fact that it received more data from larger employers when it reported its annual survey of hours and earnings.

Students in more than three dozen U.S. states have staged walkouts in recent weeks to protest the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement tactics, with demonstrations continuing despite warnings from Republican officials. In Texas, however, state leaders have taken a particularly hard line. Gov. Greg Abbott has warned that schools allowing walkouts could face funding cuts and even state takeovers, and suggested disorderly students could be arrested. The Texas Education Agency has echoed those concerns, cautioning districts against facilitating protests. Civil rights advocates argue such threats may violate students’ constitutional free speech rights. Despite the pressure, hundreds of Texas students have participated in walkouts, saying they are motivated by concerns over deportations and recent immigration-related incidents. Some organizers cited Supreme Court precedent affirming student speech rights, while Abbott has emphasized that those rights have limits, particularly when students leave campus without permission. School administrators have issued warnings about possible disciplinary action, leaving some students and parents fearful of academic consequences. Still, many participants say they view the protests as an important exercise of civic engagement at a time when they are too young to vote. The standoff highlights broader national tensions over immigration policy, student activism and the limits of free speech in schools, with Texas emerging as a focal point in the debate.

Early tax filers in the U.S. are receiving significantly larger refunds this year, with the average refund reaching $2,290 as of February 6th 2026, nearly 11% higher than at the same point last year, according to IRS data. The increase is partly attributed to new tax provisions introduced in legislation signed in July 2025. Analysts expect refunds to rise further as the season progresses, particularly once claims for credits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and Additional Child Tax Credit are processed. So far, the IRS has received about 22.4m returns, slightly fewer than last year. Refund amounts typically peak in mid-February before tapering off. While higher-income households are expected to see the largest gains, lower-income taxpayers will also benefit, though to a lesser extent.

Frontline police officers in Scotland are calling for a significant reform that includes allowing access to guns which are securely stored in their vehicles. The Scottish Police Federation argues the change is essential for officer safety and cites the need for more personnel trained in firearms. The proposal aligns with their manifesto for police reform, which also calls for all officers to carry tasers and an increase of 3,000 officers to enhance local policing. The manifesto critiques the current criminal justice system's approach and highlights the necessity of better psychological support for officers to improve welfare and retention. The Federation's demands come in light of recent violent incidents involving police.

Amazon has scrapped a planned partnership between its Ring doorbell unit and surveillance firm Flock Safety following widespread public criticism over privacy concerns. The proposed integration would have allowed law enforcement to request home video footage from Ring users through Flock’s automated license plate recognition system. Although participation would have been voluntary, critics warned the technology could be used to monitor individuals, raising fears of racial profiling, immigration enforcement misuse and expanded state surveillance. Amazon and Flock Safety said the project was cancelled after determining it would require more time and resources than anticipated, but the decision follows mounting backlash from privacy advocates. The episode underscores growing scrutiny over the role of smart home devices in law enforcement and the balance between security tools and civil liberties.

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has published a report on synthetic risk transfer (SRT) transactions. The economic importance of SRT markets has grown rapidly over the last decade and they have become an important source of capital relief for corporate credit risk. Compared with securitisations before the financial crisis, SRTs in use recently appear to be more prudently structured and managed, although risks associated with SRT use merit continued monitoring by supervisors. Barclays is the most intensive user of SRTs for transferring the risk of corporate loans among EU, UK and Swiss banks, the report said.

UnitedHealth Group chief executive Stephen Hemsley has quietly made tens of millions of dollars in private investments in healthcare startups through his investment firm, Cloverfields Capital, including companies that do business with - or compete against - UnitedHealth, according to a Wall Street Journal investigation. The investments, some dating back at least seven years, were not publicly disclosed by UnitedHealth or the startups involved. Ethics experts say the arrangements create potential conflicts of interest, given UnitedHealth’s vast footprint across insurance, healthcare services and technology. Hemsley, who returned as CEO in May 2025 after previously serving as chief executive and chairman, founded Cloverfields in 2019. While the firm publicly reports investments in listed companies, it has also taken stakes in private healthcare ventures, including digital health providers and firms connected to UnitedHealth’s business ecosystem. In some cases, internal documents suggest efforts were made to keep Hemsley’s involvement out of written communications. UnitedHealth said Hemsley complies with all conflict-of-interest and disclosure policies. After resuming the CEO role, he transferred his healthcare-related investments into an independently managed trust and recused himself from related corporate decisions. However, the company has not publicly detailed the trust or the investments.
