You may have thought, given how hard I pushed the book, that it was already out. How wrong you were. Today is launch day! I hope you enjoy it!

[Kanishka Narayan MP @KanishkaNarayan]

The Prime Minister, @andyburnham, today asked me to attend Cabinet as Minister for AI, a sign of his deep commitment to AI's importance.

AI is likely the most significant technology in human history. Its impact will dwarf other things.

The best case for it is compelling beyond our dreams: a reindustrialised Britain, stronger national security, public services transformed for the better.

The risks, too, are real: it is right that the British public shares those worries, for jobs, for the pace of change.

The central fact is that it is happening. Nations have a narrow window to decide whether they shape AI or get shaped by it. Britain is in that window right now.

While that window is still open, I will act with pace, I will act with ambition, and I will focus relentlessly on securing British influence in shaping AI.

I will also bring to this job the place I represent - a constituency in Wales, a nation with industry and ambition at its heart, a proud history of punching above its weight on the global stage. A nation which welcomed a 12-year old and his family, gave us the best chance at opportunity, put me in Parliament as Wales' first ethnic minority MP, and now affords me the chance to make a mark in Cabinet. Diolch o galon to everyone in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Kevin was a miner’s son from Donny. He went to my catholic school. He worked with my Grandad at Peglers & was v kind to him, decades later, when Grandad was very ill. Nice man.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
& let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace. Amen

I cannot describe the fury that I will have if any UK PM changes leads to a reshuffle in the ministers in Dept Science & Tech (DSIT)

They have been doing a phenomenal job - specifically I’ve never met anyone with a bad word to say about @KanishkaNarayan

Consistency in leadership for tech policy is essential over the next few years.

I have many, many, many complaints about social media, but the flip side is this: A reader enjoys a book published more than 40 years ago and shares how much he enjoyed it. Expressed a desire to talk about it with others and laments he's the only person he knows who has read it.

And now he's received a personal thanks from the author and received an outpouring of kindness as other fans have stepped forward, eager to talk.

It's a beautiful thing to witness, and something that would have been as good as impossible even 20 years ago.

The footballer -> investor pipeline is sometimes an interesting story in a few different ways, particularly from a brand perspective. But also undeniably some great successes, including Götze and Flatpay, as flagged in this great piece by @abracarioca

new from me, I look at an ill-advised era of British trade and defence policy: our three Cod Wars with Iceland.

A series of (at times) violent bust-ups between the Royal Navy and Icelandic Coast Guard tell us a surprising amount about modern-day policy and strategy 🧵
