It’s odd that Labour talk constantly about growth, but thwart any attempt to make it happen. The race for AI and the supercomputers that enable it is fast- we cannot and must not fall behind this early on.
Labour’s scrapping of investment in supercomputing and AI to fund pay rises for their union paymasters is all you need to know about their economic priorities.
Keir is right. Things are going to get worse. He’s making sure of it!

I don’t expect politics to be a 9-5 job. Politics is a lifestyle choice based on public service. If ever I loose sight of that fact I know it would be time to leave.

Frontier technologies like AI offer so much hope and growth for our country. Very sad to see that this new Labour government doesn’t share this view.
Labour now has it's feet under the desk at DSIT during what should be the most exciting period for British science and technology.
Yet, our progress has been utterly undermined by their £1.3 billon cut to AI and supercomputing research.
