I've just added my name to the call for the UK to join the European Union by 2036. A stronger economy, more jobs, greater security, and a louder voice in the world. Add your name: www.europeanmovement.co.uk/join_eu_by_2...

See this from @pkellner.bsky.social
Only three times in the party’s history has a Labour government been able to cheer a by-election night as a boost to its prospects of remaining in office
Brilliant result in #HsP

Been thinking about this bit of the von der Leyden speech since yesterday.
I think she may well be right. Or at least, she isn’t obviously wrong despite some of the sneering from US tech types.

ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

By limiting the risks of AI, we can maximise the benefits. We have already done a lot. On gigafactories and tech sovereignty, for example. But the next leg of this race is not only about frontier models. Just as was the case with the printing press in times gone by. It was invented by a German inventor, but was mastered and applied across Western Europe.

We do not need to be the ones who develop the frontier technology to be the ones who draw the greatest value from it. The key is creating the value that AI has not yet delivered. Moving AI from the screen to the real economy and society. On the factory floor. On the hospital ward. In precision agriculture. In our energy grids. Smart grids. For autonomous driving. For defence.

This is where the real value is hidden. And it is where Europe has big advantages. We have world-class industries that sit on the highest-quality data. These data are a precious European treasure. They are what can power tailor-made industrial AI models.

💥 “The Prime Minister remains committed to electoral reform” 💡 The Democracy Minister confirms that Government is seeking views and proposals to inform the next steps 🎯 As is clear from the debate in Parliament, that means a National Commission on Electoral Reform
