Where does Britain rank in 2026 globally? 🇬🇧 (out of around 150-200 countries)

1st in higher education
3rd in soft power
3-5th in AI
5th in GDP
6th in Innovation
13th in HDI
10th-20th in qol
18th In press freedom

Our country has many problems but still has great potential

Here's a graphic i made yet again GDP does NOT equal social measures or qol.

The shift from London-doomerism to Londonmaxxing is a beauty to behold 🇬🇧

The city is positioning itself to play a leading role in the future of AI + Digital Assets.

[Institute of Economic Affairs @iealondon]

🇬🇧 Britain has no wealth tax. Yet it raises more tax from wealth than every country that does - Spain, Switzerland and Norway - and every other OECD nation.

We shouldn't be looking for more ways to tax wealth.

We should be looking at more ways to create it.👇️

The City of London has bounced back and—outside America—still shines as the financial capital of the world. Now, it has a chance to grow further https://t.co/uthSKjvALe

The Oval Office has changed a bit since 1970.

I’m at the Conservative Party Spring Conference in Harrogate.

Video attached of @KemiBadenoch arriving today at the venue.

You get the feeling that she is leading the @Conservatives on a strong road to recovery following the 2024 low point!

Kemi: ‘The Green Party leader only wants to make two things bigger, and neither of them is our army’.

Fair play this was a good line.

Genuinely one of the nicest and generous politicians of our time.

OpenAI has just chosen London as its largest research hub outside US!

The UK has always been home to amazing technical AI talent (in a large part thanks to Demis Hassabis and DeepMind) and now OpenAI is doubling down here.

It currently has 30 researchers, but according to The Times, will be "significantly increasing the size of the site".

The company referred to London's “unique concentration of world-class talent across machine learning and the sciences as well as its strong culture of cross-disciplinary collaboration” as to why it's expanding here.

And it is NOT WRONG

This is amazing validation of the strength of the UK tech ecosystem.

(article is linked below. It is a TRAVESTY they didn't ask OpenAI's @LauraModiano for a comment who has become one of the leading figures in European Tech - anything to add Laura?)

[Seb Johnson @SebJohnsonUK]

It has been an absolutely INSANE day for UK tech:

> Wayve raised $1.2bn at an $8.6bn valuation
> Allica Bank became a unicorn at a $1.2bn valuation
> Revolut is pushing for a $100bn valuation
> SolveAI raised a $45m Series A
> Dwelly raised a $93m round
> BeyondMath raised an $18.5m Series A

There are some days when it is impossible to cover everything that happens.

Today is one of those days.
