We're facing global insecurity, climate change, war in Ukraine and AI transformation, and all the Tories can offer is tax cuts for the wealthy and deregulation, leaving it to the likes of Elon Musk and water companies to decide our future,I said on Keegan on @NewsNight last night

@ChiOnwurah When an industry suddenly starts behaving like it is in need of regulation be aware of the "regulatory capture" playbook. The AI tech bros know all about it and how to play the game. youtu.be/F9cO3-MLHOM?is…

At some point, presumably; we get to find out if big tech runs the government or the government runs big tech.

We don't talk enough about how concentrated key tech markets are- cloud, social media, LLMs, AI chips. This @newsmediaorg event @FT was a welcome discussion on the lack of competition in digital markets and how it impacts economic growth and public trust newsmediauk.org/blog/2026/09/0…

💯 this! The anthropomorphising of AI is fundamentally an attempt by tech companies to avoid responsibility for lazy, negligent or frankly dangerous design.

If you build it you are responsible for it. The code is not a person. It does not go rogue or get excited. It does precisely what the code is engineered to do. If you engineered it without regard to the consequences then you should face the consequences..

This is a huge win for everyone who has worked to hold social media platforms accountable - but it has come through the US courts and only applies in the US, UK legislation needs to catch up.
