Scoop: The White House has asked OpenAI and Anthropic not to share their AI models with the U.K. government’s testing agency until the models have gone through U.S. testing.
“Because they’re American companies and this has been our policy with every new frontier model that comes out,” the senior admin official told me.
WH wants this sequence: U.S. review -> secure U.S. systems -> share models with U.S. partners
Anthropic appears to have complied but OpenAI has not said if it will.

EXC: YouGov-Sky-Times MRP projects a Hung Parliament with Labour as the largest party in new poll
** Labour on 241. Tories on 130. Reform on 123. LDs on 71. SNP 40, Plaid 15, Greens 9.
** Andy Burnham's Labour come top but 85 seats short of a the 326 official winning line. The party would be down 171 on 2024GE but he'd probably still be in No10
** Nigel Farage's Reform drop from first in the MRP 12 months ago to third, with Kemi Badenoch's Tories now larger in seats (though behind in vote share)
** The right - Tories plus Reform - can't form a government and reach 326 together. But Labour+LDems are not enough either, and need a rainbow coalition

Something in this for everyone. Who would be most pleased/disappointed?
Labour biggest party & stay in govt. Tories remain the opposition. Huge leap forward for Reform (+ Plaid). LDs hold seats & in govt in some form. SNP dominating Scotland again. Greens inch forward...

Starmer's govt laid the groundwork, as @SamCoatesSky at Sky News revealed in leaked documents. People around Burnham say it fits his devo plans better than it did Starmer's agenda. Top investors like L&G are keen for the debt to be off the books. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

It’s interesting to see people asking why all the Earl Spencer nonsense is dominating major news sites when there are so many more important stories. This is one consequence of the digital-first shift in the media that gets too little attention: clicks increasingly determine not just a story’s prominence, but the kind of stories that get commissioned in the first place. The result is a media increasingly shaped by what generates traffic rather than what matters. That’s damaging for journalism, and for all of us who consume it.
