Super proud of my Welsh buddy!
The Prime Minister, @andyburnham, today asked me to attend Cabinet as Minister for AI, a sign of his deep commitment to AI's importance.
AI is likely the most significant technology in human history. Its impact will dwarf other things.
The best case for it is compelling beyond our dreams: a reindustrialised Britain, stronger national security, public services transformed for the better.
The risks, too, are real: it is right that the British public shares those worries, for jobs, for the pace of change.
The central fact is that it is happening. Nations have a narrow window to decide whether they shape AI or get shaped by it. Britain is in that window right now.
While that window is still open, I will act with pace, I will act with ambition, and I will focus relentlessly on securing British influence in shaping AI.
I will also bring to this job the place I represent - a constituency in Wales, a nation with industry and ambition at its heart, a proud history of punching above its weight on the global stage. A nation which welcomed a 12-year old and his family, gave us the best chance at opportunity, put me in Parliament as Wales' first ethnic minority MP, and now affords me the chance to make a mark in Cabinet. Diolch o galon to everyone in the Vale of Glamorgan.

@sambrooks803 What's the LFC fanbase saying mate? Getting away with it and lack of depth a concern, or things about to click into gear and go bang?

We can't keep muddling along with relativism
What this report doesn’t mention - perhaps because it’s an even more sensitive issue than ethnicity - is religion.
We know there are passages in the Quran & Muhammad’s biographies that can be used to sanction sexual slavery because ISIS made it manifest

Something I'm noticing is that if I'm tired when I hit up @_MathAcademy_ - the number of dumb, trivial mistakes I make increases 3 fold!

PGMOL are worse than those bent coppers from the 80s.
The most parochial band of luddites in the land at the wheel of a multi-multi-billion pound industry.

How many of these "you won't see that given all season" decisions have I seen Arsenal get this season?

He is not smart.
If Freddie is smart he’ll throw Charlotte under the bus right away. He just saw what she did to Minah and the heat is already on him. #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUK
