Is police facial recognition technology the “end of privacy"?

Update: 2025-12-04

Description

Wes Streeting will be launching an independent review that’ll investigate whether mental health, ADHD and autism are being over-diagnosed in England - James explores the distinct possibility that it isn’t.

Also, facial recognition technology could be used more often by UK police forces, according to the Home Office. Could this be the “end of privacy as we know it”, as privacy campaign group Big Brother Watch claims?

And, James speaks with Washington Correspondent Simon Marks for the latest Donald Trump-related news, including the President stating that he doesn’t want any Somalian people in the country and that Somalia “stinks”.

This episode was recorded on the 4th of December. Catch James O'Brien weekdays from 10am on LBC.
