Reports of delays to Tempest, uncertainty over F-35A procurement, & ongoing issues with Ajax raise serious questions about UK defence priorities under Keir Starmer. With global threats rising, clarity and commitment urgently needed before NATO allies meet. apple.news/AZ8t-Pcm4QjWjF…
More cash for a vehicle that was meant to come into service 2017, didn’t — and might never. Talk about throwing good money after bad!
EXC: MoD is set to divert more than £250mn extra to the Army’s beleaguered Ajax programme over the next 4 years, acc to ppl familiar with matter Projected lifetime cost of the programme is expected to come to an additional £1bn overall, they say More cash for Ajax is likely to
As eulogies go, this one is hard to beat. It confirms two things: (1) Sir Alex Younger was a great servant of this country (2) The relationship between the USA and the UK has always been incredibly strong and will remain so. Thank you @mikepompeo
Within hours of being announced as the nominee to be the U.S. Director of the CIA, I received a hand-delivered message on MI6 stationery congratulating me on my nomination. It was signed simply "C" in green ink. Legendary. I shared it with my son and even he thought I was now
I haven’t worked in Westminster for seven years. Please pass that on to your three followers.
@afneil Unless its about theft corruption and sexual offences in westminster. Your always silent on that- you know when your breads buttered. When was the last time the uk had a proper journalist- probably before you were even born. Now yous just all lick westminsters are for riches
We are not subject to the four massive regulatory acts/controls Brussels has passed since 2020 which have stymied AI in the EU. WE have combined lighter regulation with a financial environment conducive to venture capital — more VC investment in UK last year than four biggest EU VC markets combined. That’s why we’re three in the world in AI (behind China/America, which are in a league of their own) and the EU is nowhere. Best you educate yourself in such matters before concluding if you’re convinced or unconvinced. I hope this helps.
@afneil least convinced argument dressed as a revelation i’ve seen all week but ill bite what specifically are we doing better that isnt just not being eu
Stop screaming ignorance at the sky or thinking you have any right to lecture me, given you know nothing of me (or anything else for that matter). I have never been a monetarist. So hop off and wallow in your ultracrepidarian stupidity without ever contacting me again.
@afneil Give over with your faux outrage. Your observations regarding economics are based on monetarist garbage. As for socialism, if it wasn't for gov handouts via the BoE, all of the banks would have collapsed. It's called corporate welfare. Report the facts, Andrew, not the propoganda
Thanks for the inquiry. I regularly suggest policies in my many Mail columns.
@afneil I have admired and respected you journalistic and economic knowledge for years . .. I appreciate you are questioning all our political masters but what policies would you suggest to get our lovely country back on track ?
Wow. A billion of taxpayers money. Most of which will be frittered away and never seen again. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, US AI companies plan to invest £750 billion this year.
Our £1.1 billion plan is backing the British firms developing the next generation of AI hardware. So we get more jobs, more growth, and more control over the technologies our future depends on. I'm backing Britain because I believe in Britain.
I agree. European social democrats have always been more honest than the British Left. The euro left made it clear that if you want cradle-to-the-grave socialism then everybody will have to pay much higher taxes. The British Left claims it can be done just by taxing the rich, which is nonsense. But given the current state of Middle Britain — with real incomes largely stagnant since the GFC of 2008 — good luck with winning an election telling middle-earners they should pay more taxes.
@afneil If people want larger state, better funded public services, etc., I'd much rather they argue for higher taxes than to indulge in the fantasy that you can just do it by taxing the rich.
Remarkable story in Telegraph revealing just how useless recent Tory governments were: A secret Whitehall report found that more than £28bn in foreign aid and Covid-19 loans was handed to terrorists, hostile states and gangsters! The misappropriation of taxpayer funds from 2015 to 2021, includes millions sent to the Islamic State and Russia. Those responsible remain unpunished and the dossier was buried to spare official embarrassment.
Has it never occurred to you that one of the main reasons that’s true (largely) is that the UK is no longer subject to the sort of Brussels’ prudential regulatory regimes that have already stymied AI in the European Union and are turning the EU into a mid-tech backwater? No? Never?
The energy at London Tech Week today was incredible, and the businesses I spoke to made it clear that Britain is the place to start and scale a tech company. These are the people with the ideas and innovations that are driving the UK forward.
The British Left now has a death wish.
Britain isn’t a high-tax country and middle-earners should pay more. New post on the alternative to cutting infrastructure spending yet again. arguably.uk/p/the-tax-trut…
I think you mean Annabel’s. That was always just a joke. Bit like yourself. So I’m surprised you didn’t get it.
Agree entirely. But the word from Whitehall is that our glorious government is contemplating pulling funding from the GCAP.
With the cancellation of the Franco-German SCAF, the Anglo-Italian-Japanese GCAP just became the most important European defence project. Hopefully Germany will join GCAP and in doing so use its financial strength to ensure that it succeeds. defensenews.com/global/europe/…
The idea that a government populated by ministers who, combined, have close to zero proper business experience, dribbling out small dollops of cash to companies they favour will play any role in finding ‘the UK’s first trillion-dollar firm’ really is one for the ages. If it ever happens it will be despite the government, not because of it. They really have no clue.
I want to find the UK’s first trillion-dollar firm. That’s why this morning I've unveiled our bespoke concierge service to support businesses of the future to start, scale, and stay in the UK. When I say I’m aggressively ambitious in pursuit of economic growth, I mean it.
Please play to your kids, and those so wrapped up in bashing Britain they can’t see the wood for the trees 🇬🇧
@afneil The leader of the pack puts a whining pup in its place.
I’m becoming rather bored of your querimonious criticisms of me — even to the extent of daring to think you can give me career advice, despite your lack of any qualifications. So I’m blocking you. Get back to me when you learn a little pauciloquy and ditch your sophomania.
@afneil These days, he just chunters. Most people of his age retire and give the position to an up-and-coming journalist, but the days of true journalism are over for Randy-Andy. Now he simply spits venom at anything remotely socialist or anything relating to feelings of empathy.
Indeed. It was the day I bumped into Putin riding bareback in the other direction. We measured each other up warily. And moved on.
Actually, I think it was a joke.
@afneil That quote perfectly encapsulates the disconnect between official narratives and the lived reality of many capital cities. It’s a sharp, necessary critique of how statistics are used to sanitize systemic failures in public safety.
