Basically @rcolvile is right here. What amazes me is how well Britain’s start-up and AI sector is doing *in-spite* of all these things.

Imagine what is possible if our policy and tax environment supported them.

We can do this 🇬🇧🚀 @Conserva_Tech @PeterTFortune @JuliaLopezMP

The AI buildout is a great case study of UK failure:

- Failed to fix copyright so de facto banned LLM training
- Planning system, electricity costs and grid connection queue delayed/blocked data centres
- But loads of smug conferences/strategy docs on how well placed we were

This really does reveal a lot about Burnham and (in fairness) some others that have made it to Number 10.

Being PM should not be a goal. You should have a guiding mission and ideas that you want to do that being PM will enable.

It’s like they run the race, win and reach the finish line and then say - now what?

Same goes for MPs and want to be future candidates too.

Covet what the office enables you to do for others, not the office itself.

Interesting that parts of the 10 year plan are being outsourced to Boston Consulting Group, where James Purnell used to work.

An early morning example of broken digital government.

Why do I have to search and navigate all the HMRC pages for this? Why isn’t it linked? Why isn’t it easy to log in?

There are some big problems in digital functions of government - as @LewisOrmston pointed out in our recent @Conserva_Tech paper, but some of them are so much easier to solve.

This Government is spineless. There’s huge fraud in the system - unless you believe half a million more people are now disabled since GE24 and worthy of PIP.

Labour are the party of those on welfare.

If you get up at a 6am and work hard at your job or business, they don’t represent your interests.

Only the @Conservatives are backing you.
