AI is bigger than any single person, company or country. Whether this technology is good depends on cooperation by both industry and governments to set an international framework that amplifies the good that these very powerful technologies can deliver.

Why our future in Europe passes through the centre right, and alongside Ukraine; why it’s bad business cosying up to Trump; how the US elite are becoming more Chinese - and much more besides! Thanks to @Geordie_Greig and the team at the @Independent. independent.co.uk/tv/news/ni…

Unlikely, I know, but maybe as yet another PM takes over and growth remains flat it’s time to learn from what worked under the Coalition? Read here: ft.com/content/922ccd31-9af5…

We’ve lost a decade since the Brexit vote, we can’t afford to lose another. Here’s how Britain could rejoin an altered EU - alongside our great allies in Ukraine - by 2036.

Many congrats to you @ylecun, and to @lxbrun and the rest of the brilliant @amilabs team. Now the hard - and interesting! - work begins. @HiroCapital are delighted to be supporting you as co lead in this seed round at the beginning of your journey.
Unveiling our new startup Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI Labs). We just completed our seed round: $1.03B / 890M€, one the largest seeds ever, probably the largest for a European company. We're hiring! [the background image is the Veil Nebula - a picture I took from my backyard, most appropriate for an unveiling] More details here: techcrunch.com/2026/03/09/ya…

A real humdinger with @amolrajan on Radical - from Miriam’s political future to whether liberalism is weak, from how to make kids safe online to what I found grating about Silicon Valley, from the dangers of AI to what I want to do next, and much else besides - I think we covered it all! Huge thanks to Amol and his team for such a wide ranging discussion. Listen: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002m0… Watch: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…

Such sad news about @mingcampbell's death. When I saw him earlier this month he was physically frail but just as full of political gossip, curiosity and insight as always - and reminiscing too about his beloved Elspeth, to whom he was utterly devoted, and their happy life together. Ming was a liberal - a Scottish liberal - to his core. Throughout the years we worked together - when he was leader of the Lib Dems and after I succeeded him - he was unfailingly generous with his time and advice. His deep interest in foreign affairs was especially impactful - and even when he disagreed with me, he did so with his trademark courtesy and wit. I will miss him greatly.
