Same Same But Different

[Barney Hussey-Yeo @Barney_H_Y]

From a very credible Labour source:

- Wes Streeting promised the Chancellorship for not running.

- Capital gains raised to match income tax. Possible exit tax.

- Economic focus: devolution, plus state ownership of cost-of-living essentials (energy, water, transport).

- Nothing on AI or tech, bar higher capital gains and an EIS/SEIS-style relief for backing British businesses. (Spoiler: startups now incorporate in Delaware and raise on SAFEs. I’ve done 60+ angel investments; only two were eligible.)

Andy and Wes don’t seem to grasp that tech has been the core engine of growth for 20 years, and AI will only accelerate that.

So why would any founder build here? How does the UK compete with the US and China on AI? Where does growth actually come from?

The world economy is changing fast, and we need to be ready to thrive in it, not just survive.

I really hope this admin appoints some figures who actually get what’s happening. Losing business support early, from a disastrous first budget, was the beginning of the end for Starmer.

@ZackPolanski - this is magnificent. Three things I can’t deny:

1. It is a video.
2. You are wearing a jacket.
3. Then you aren’t.
4. Then you are again.

Unfortunately that’s where the accuracy ends.

A few corrections for you:

Peter Thiel is not our CEO. Alex Karp is — and has been for 20+ years. (A lifelong Democrat, for anyone keeping score.)

We are not a “spyware company.” Spyware is malware. Malware is illegal. Calling a software company spyware is, technically, defamatory (don’t worry, we are not suing).

We don’t build surveillance technology. We build software that helps organisations make sense of data they already hold. Not the same thing.

There was no “private tour” of our HQ. There was a public photocall to which the media came. Hence, why there are so many pictures of the event.

Our MOD contract is not “the biggest defence contract in UK history.” Ajax armoured vehicles = £5.5bn. Dreadnought submarines = £31bn. We’re grateful for the work, but let’s keep a sense of scale.

We have no more access to NHS data than Microsoft has to the contents of your Word documents. I think you know this by now.

We don’t have access to patient medical records. Same story.

I agree that “nothing matters more than our health.” Which makes it worth reminding you of what Palantir’s software is actually doing in the NHS right now:

->110,000 additional operations
->15% fewer delayed hospital discharges
->7% more patients finding out within 28 days whether they have cancer

Respect again for what you did with that jacket.

What a system. David Lammy spends years carefully building relationships with key people, including in the Trump Administraion, now for nothing. Yvette Cooper spends a year getting to grips with complex immigration policy, for what? Shabana Mahmood has the benefit of 14 months grappling with the prisons crisis, now someone else has to start from scratch. These sort of reshuffles make very little sense.

[Daniel Priestley @DanielPriestley]

Anyone in business understands a simple idea…
If you put your prices up without adding value, you’ll see revenue fall.

I don’t give a toss what that fraud Gary Lineker has to say about this proposed European Super League by the way. Him and his son, Harry, fucked me out of almost 4 days of work at the height of the pandemic last year.
