0:00.0	Welcome to Jimmy's Jobs of the Future. I am delighted to share with you today. We are joined by one of the guests that has been requested by you the listeners most, that of William Hague. It felt a particularly opportune moment to speak to William. Just moments
0:18.0	after Rachel Reeves had delivered her first labour budget, a week out from the US presidential election and the Conservative
0:27.8	party electing its first leader of the opposition in 15 years as well. But it was great to talk to William about
0:36.2	a whole range of long-term issues as well. He is currently running to be the
0:41.1	Chancellor of Oxford University.
0:44.0	So we talk to him about the future of AI, how it will impact education, how it will change

1:37.0	So we talked to him a little bit about that early on in the episode as well.
1:41.0	So this is so many of my favorite topics all rolled into one with one of the most
1:45.3	interesting politicians the United Kingdom has ever produced.
1:50.3	William welcome to Jimmy's jobs of the future.
1:53.0	Thank you, great pleasure.
1:55.0	We've just been watching the budget.
1:57.0	What's your kind of reaction to Rachel Reeves' first budget?
2:00.0	Well, what I was looking out for was,
