.@soundboy is a true 🇬🇧 patriot. The positive impact of his energy and determination will be massive and enduring.
I believe Ian Hogarth - @soundboy - deserves much wider and deeper credit and recognition for voluntarily forfeiting shares in Anthropic so that he could set up and run the AI Security Institute (@AISecurityInst) - where he, and Britain, are generally acclaimed to be doing an outstanding job. (Something else he deserves greater credit for).
This noble decision was *very* expensive.
I also believe, and hope, that for our fast-growing audience this may be one of the most useful conversations they hear about Technology this year. We go deep on:
> What is AI?
> The real rate at which it is developing
> The race dynamic in global innovation
> Humanity’s fork in the road
> The significant chance of a huge market crash
> The exhilarating case Quantum Computing
> The exhilarating case for Fusion
> The exhilarating potential for Robotics
> Why outstanding British companies sometimes struggle to scale
> How Britain, and Europe, can lead
> The Future of jobs
> How Founders succeed
> His noble decision to do a public service role
> His fantasy for Battersea Power station
Ian is co-Founder and Partner at Plural, and co-Founder and Chair of the UK's AI Security Institute (@AISecurityInst).
This was a great, immensely useful conversation and I'd be honoured if you lent an ear to The Amol Rajan Connection.

Thanks for your time and attention to this matter.

Loved joining @BethRigby @HarrietHarman and @RuthDavidsonPC on the Electoral Dysfunction podcast to discuss welfare reform, the budget and how making AI work for all should be a top priority for the PM’s 10 year plan
'We have got to do more to back British AI'
@BethRigby questioned former science, innovation and technology secretary Liz Kendall (@leicesterliz) on what the government should do about AI and the challenges it comes with.

Annualised UK GDP growth so far in 2026, with two-thirds of the year gone, is 2.7-2.8%
Is expected to slow in q4, but that was also expected in q3. And q2.
City economists (eg Pantheon) say “we have to shift from describing UK growth as resilient to calling it strong”.

Why is this a difficult question to answer ?
"Do you think that the state of Israel, as a safe home for Jews after the Holocaust and after the pogroms, has a right to exist?"
@bbcnickrobinson repeatedly asks Green Party leader Zack Polanski.

NON COMPETES BANNED
Today, the PM has announced that his Government will legislate to functionally ban non-compete agreements for startups and scaleups in the UK or as he called it - the Bosman ruling for ruling for the innovation sector' 😂
At the @StartupCltn been working on this for months and we think it’s a huge potential unlock for our tech ecosystem.
Here’s what you need to know…
- Measures to functionally ban non-competes for startups and scaleups in the UK are going to be set out.
- There will also be consultation on a wider set of restrictive practices including gardening leave.
- More detail on these plans at the budget in a few weeks (Wednesday 28th October) including a timetable for consultation with a view to legislation in the coming months.
We think this is a huge move and so do lots of friends including so many of the great founders that signed the letter with Inherent just the other week.
Why? Because talent matters and mobile talent means startups can build. The Valley was built on free-flowing talent. In the UK, we’re now seeing our own versions of this story with companies being built from alumni of both homegrown firms like Revolut and beyond. But we need that to move faster. Hiring and building faster means British startups and scaleups can grow faster. Barriers to that slow our ecosystem down.
We won’t pretend it will be perfect, and people (including some of our friends but also lots of fairly vested interests too) will have a right to disagree. But we think that startups will thrive and win in a faster paced Britain.
So we are delighted with the progress today - as part of a strong speech by the PM outlining his ambition for building the world’s leading innovation nation including more on tax, growing companies outside London and more. But this is the start, not the end of the process. The announcement launches a consultation. It doesn't mean the issue is settled. How far reform goes, and what it looks like on the ground, is still to be decided.
The Prime Minister today has done something that can materially impact the trajectory of the UK tech ecosystem and with it our economy - but only if we make sure it’s delivered. So, the real work starts now.

As I’ve long argued, we need to seize the benefits of AI as well as deal with risks and challenges it inevitably brings.
We must shape AI to work for Britain and the British people, including the potential for jobs and stronger economic growth.

Strong growth numbers for the first half of the year. This was not inevitable.
It is because of the resilience of the British economy and the responsible action taken since the election to deliver stability, investment and reform.
Lots done, more to do.

As a dog owner, I know how stressful unexpected fireworks can be for many pets, including my Bruno 🐶 They can also be distressing for some veterans & frightening for young children.
That's why I've launched a consultation on the future of fireworks regulations. Have your say👇

Positive growth figures this morning, continuing an encouraging start to the year

GDP grew by 0.7% in the 3 months to May 2026, following a revised growth of 0.8% in the 3 months to April 2026.
Services (+0.7%), Production (+0.1%) and construction (+1.6%) were all up.

I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.
It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.
But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.
Peter Kyle retweeted
This is a desperate stunt from Nigel Farage.
Politics should be about improving the lives of millions of people, not about personal gain.
