It is good news that the UK government welcomes US digital companies here to invest, create jobs and provide the technology all our businesses and households need to live an on line life. Most commentators have welcomed it.
Few news outlets have read what was agreed or provided much commentary on what it means. The formal Agreement signed by the President and Prime Minister is a Memorandum of Understanding between the two governments. It is non binding. It contains no pledges of money. It is a statement of good intent for the leading departments and institutions of the state on both sides of the Atlantic to co-operate more fully in the named fields of quantum computing, nuclear energy, AI, 6G and digital development. It is an important statement from the top of both governments, but it now needs a lot of detailed work by the institutions and departments to identify the projects, the research areas and the procurement where common working will help both sides. It could lead to some good developments, as both sides have technology advances that the other would like to share and develop together.
There was then the press statements that the two had agreed £250bn of investment passing both ways across the Atlantic, suggesting £150 bn would come from the US to the UK. £150 bn is a significant sum for a £3 tn economy. £100 bn is useful even for a £23 bn economy. The £150 bn however, is not all new money and is not one year money. Microsoft accounting for £22 bn is a multi year programme, much of it already committed. The bulk of it is a £100 bn commitment by Blackstone to be spread over ten years. Google’s £5b includes a data centre already well advanced.
It’s a well know government technique to ask the private sector what it is going to spend, to gross it up by taking estimates of future years and announcing one large number. That can be good for morale and gives the businesses their day of extra publicity for what they are doing. This was one of the bigger and better lists, and no doubt the focus of President and Prime Minister on technology helped to direct more efforts to this crucial area of strengthening what the UK does and what it buys in this sector where the US dominates. It was notable that the projects mentioned for investment in the pharma sector were ones where UK based groups will invest more in the US, reflecting the US attraction of this investment and the damage the NHS procurement has done to keeping and expanding investment here despite the government wanting to boost the sector.
The whole event was a timely reminder for those who thought about it of the dominance of Nvidia, Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and the other US tech giants. The UK will continue to be very dependent on these great US companies, with every business and home needing their systems, their chips, their cloud storage, their apps to run their daily lives. The EU is even further behind the US than the UK is in these crucial areas of the digital revolution. The UK should ask itself why it has not done better, why some of its best ideas and companies have been sold early to the US and why now we depend on the US ability to turn billion dollar companies into trillion dollar companies. 9 of the 10 largest companies in the world by capitalisation are now US, with the tenth being Taiwan Semiconductor that has substantial capacity in the US and supplies the US industry. Nvidia alone has a larger market value than all the London stock market companies added together.

Cheap reliable energy is needed why do this in the UK with the mad zealot Ed, May’s net zero lunacy and the Climate Change Committee (headed by a pleasant but deluded classics Graduate) in charge of energy?
JR asks “why some of its best ideas and companies have been sold early to the US and why now we depend on the US ability to turn billion dollar companies into trillion dollar companies”
Well these companies get far better P/E ratios in the US. Often, in my view, rather absurdly high PE ratios. Tesla on 246 Nvidea 52 plus a better, lower tax, more business friendly and more stable regime. Person IHT thresholds of more like £6m each in the US yet 40% of anything over £325k in the taxed and regulated to death UK for example.
September 21, 2025
In the UK good solid smaller companies often struggle to sell on multiples as low as 4-7 times earnings. Rather tempting if you are offered x 10 by US company and also tempting for the buyer if they are quoted on a PE of x 50 and have loads of synergies plus the company then gets the benefits of better cheaper funding and far larger US markets and larger scale!
Hopefully the sellers use the money make new good investments and do not just spend it on posh yachts etc. Then again even that is better than letting the government waste on on Net Zero, road blocking, net harm Covid Vaccines and lockdowns.
September 21, 2025
I spoke to someone the other day who knows the figures on UK breast cancer referrals often in the young too, they are up circa 30% in the past couple of years. So why might this be? Very easy (if you wanted to) to find out if it is Covid vaccine related or not. You just take a look as their Covid Vaccines status and the timings. So is this increase only in the Covid Vaccinated, the unvaccinated or both groups and which vaccines and numbers of?
Alas it seems the government wants to hide these stats. I wonder why? Surely something they would only do if they know it is indeed largely in the people they coerced Covid vaccines into. Will the new Hillsborough law get more honest out of public official? Or will we have to wait another 40 years+
It will all come out – see Dr John Campbell’s video on the Italian study – and it is not just Breast Cancer! How is the vastly expensive (over £200 million) sick joke of our Covid enquiry getting on!
September 21, 2025
There is a similar explosion in aggressive prostate cancer over the same period. Boris Becker is the latest high profile example.
September 21, 2025
Surely any honest health system, doctors or statistition would want to know the main causes. Very easy to eliminate Covid Vaccines if not this just realise the broken done stats by vaccines status but it seems they won’t. So we will get the figs from Italy, Japan, USA, Czech republic…

The Magnificent 7 make really big returns on total assets but even bigger returns on equity. Their extraordinary, and very real, profitability is supercharged by financial engineering. That involves a combination of share splits coupled with share buybacks. IIRC in its last financial year Nvidia spent something like $35 billion on buybacks (see it’s cash flow statement). The impact is revealed by comparing ROAE% (the best measure of operating performance) with RoE% and the trend of eps over time.
September 21, 2025
The scale and influence of the dominant tech companies is unprecedented in commercial terms.
How this will evolve and what effect they will have on world affairs is as yet unknown. We used to have something called the mergers and monopolies commission to guard against any single company dominating its sector. That government body looks to be defunct, or at least toothless in the current scale of dominant powerful tech businesses, all being predominantly American. They are all now outside our lowly M and M influence on matters, anyway.
When companies grow to be larger economically and have more influence than the G20 countries they operate in, we must ask, who is actually in charge of our national affairs?
I have no idea how this will ultimately play out. But if we value democracy as a time honoured method of protecting our rights as individuals, something will have to change. In our nationally organised/political world the scale and unique power of these pan world monopolising businesses, simply don’t and can’t fit in the traditional nation based paradigm.
September 21, 2025
Rod. The tech companies have a whiff of Stansard Oil about them. They became a threat to the USA government and were broken up. I see a similar scenario with the tech companies only these will be more difficult to control.
As for the investment in Britain I doubt this will ever happen. With our unreliable, intermittent and expensive power grid it’s a non starter.
Milibrains will do all he can to thwart any industry which he perceives as counter to his bankruptcy policy.
He may very well become the next PM and then we’re going to have to forcibly remove him.
September 21, 2025
Some real democracy in the UK would be nice after so many years of promise one thing before the election but deliver the reverse.
I keep hearing people predicting an early general election. I think not, Labour will hold on to the bitter end just like John Major did – but they will surely get a new leader before the next election. The truly depressing reality is that it is:-
A. It is unlikely that Reform will win an overall majority in 2029.
B. Even if they do Reform will have new MPs and they will struggle to deliver against the blob, the BBC, team World, the BoE, the Quangos, lefty Lords, lefty judiciary, lefty “charities”…
C. If they do not win a decent majority then under Kemi will we get a Conservative/Labour/Libdim government. After all Kemi is closer to them on immigration, the ECHR, Net Zero… than to Reform.
D. Labour will by 2029 have left an even bigger mess than unequivocally safe net zero fan Sunak left.
All very depressing. A good video by David Starkey on the vast problems any new Reform government will face!
So Tomb Stone, Climate Zealot, Ed Miliband is now plotting a comeback! Could he be any worse? At least we would be rid of him as Energy Sec. and rid of robotic Two Tier, serial liar (your all far right racists) Kier!
September 21, 2025
I fully see the potential of Labour to hold on as long as they can, thus 2029 is the only certain end to them. I say that, but the markets are powerful arbiters of “events dear boy events” as Macmillan once advised us to be guided by.
I can also see the Uniparty formally aligning their positions in a coalition to stop Reform which is what happened in both Germany and in France when the realists, (perhaps we should call ourselves the rightists) got a chance of taking power from the Woke leftist establishment.
What we can never ignore is the ongoing destruction of wealth creation with the resultant excess borrowing the current policies of government have baked into their Net Zero fixation.
The markets are looking for returns on their investments, when there are none to be had then investment ceases and destitution follows.
We are in a mess and it is all avoidable.
Reply. No way Conservatives will align with Labour. They oppose practically everything Labour is doing, especially over spending, net zero mad policies, Eu re set, failure to remove ECHR from migration cases, two tier justice etc
September 21, 2025
Well they claim to oppose but when in office for 14 years they pushed an essentially socialist tax borrow and waste and net zero agenda. We have to judge politicians by their actions. KEMI anyway is still pro net zero and pro the ECHR and fairly pro mass immigration so little in common with Farage!
Reply Kemi has said net zero by 2050 is unattainable and has committed to extracting as much oil and gas as possible. She set out amendments to the governments Immigration Bill to disapply ECHR / UN rules to migration cases
September 21, 2025
Kemi has not said that the tories, under her leadership, would repel the climate change committee and the current policies of net-zero, nor has she said that she would repel the ECHRs when in government ….and therein lies the problem …we don’t believe her
Reply There will be a well thought road map of how to get out of international law commitments at conference. She has announced net zero is unattainable and is now working on all the changes that will be needed as a result.
September 21, 2025
Sir John, you are only advising the position of the conservative wing of the Tory Party. The LibDem wing of the Tory Party are all in favour of the items you have listed. That is why the Tory administration was so hamstrung during the post referendum period. Over half of the Tory MPs are in the wrong political Party, which is why I am sure they would assist the other left wing MPs to keep Reform out of power.
Reply I am setting out the party’s policy as established by the Leader and Shadow Cabinet. I do the same for Reform and Labour, taking their official line. All parties have rebels and dissenters.
September 21, 2025
By contrast AIM company after AIM company is engaged in using precious cash on share buy backs. This runs into the tens if not hundreds of millions this year alone. The reason usually given is “to return cash to shareholders”. The primary driving force appears to be disinvestment by individuals who are invested in funds who are cashing out, causing those funds in turn to sell some of their underlying shareholdings to meet the cash calls. Follow the money! It is being pulled out of the UK and being re-invested elsewhere. And who can blame them with this incompetent government, PM and Chancellor.
September 21, 2025
A government essentially robbing people and then wasting the proceeds – doom loop lunacy plus net zero lunacy plus absurd over regulation, open door, huge net cost, low skilled immigration, an appalling PM, appalling Mayor of London, zero deterrent criminal justice, nearly 4 more years of this at least … why invest in the UK? Well can it get even worse?
September 21, 2025
Why do we rely on the US to turn billion dollar companies into trillion dollar companies you ask.
Could it be that when a company in the UK is seen by our gangster state to be making a really good profit, the state wants it’s piece of the action and charges huge levels of tax, hugely damaging fines and hamstrings them through over regulation? All these things add to over heads. Then you’ve got extortionate energy costs and massive business rates, why would an ambitious expanding company stay here?
September 21, 2025
So you’ve built up your company over a good portion of your working life, and it’s time to move on and leave the business to others. How about donating your business to the employees whose livelihood it is? But those employees can’t afford to buy the company, nor do they even have the means to pay the capital gains tax due if you just gave the shares away. Setting up an employee trust to do things the government approved way looks to be extremely complicated and over the heads of the employees, for whom simply becoming a company shareholder is something of a cultural shock.
Far easier just to sell the business to the Yanks. Job done.
September 21, 2025
Sadly this whole thing shows how ill informed the whole UK ruling classes are.
For a start AI is not really a new technology that will change the world, rather it is just a hype buzzword thrown around to label a lot of disparate technologies and approaches in order to get investments etc. The AI bubble will burst, just like the dot com bubble did, lots of things labelled AI currently will fall by the wayside.
Other things worthy of note include companies like Palantir completely pulling the wool over the eyes of entire layers of decision makers in the UK (and to a lesser extent the US), and playing games with us. They are not a benign tech vendor, they are playing ruthless “knowledge is power” games with the the UK. They suck up the intellectual property held in our data, and then drip feed us bits of it back when it suits them. It is actually strategically silly to hand over so much power to them. We dont have any senior leaders with the remotest understanding of what they are doing to us in multi dimensional ways.
The many things that AI supposedly is, do not, on their own, demand massive new datacentres, although to be fair the ever marching growth of cloud does. But sizes and efficiencies continue to be driven, such that the amount of expansion in compute power and storage will be largely delivered by reduction in size of kit able to deliver it.
Internet backbone still needs hardly any upgrade due to massive over investment during the dot com bubble. There is no lack of capacity between exchanges, although there often is lack of capacity from exchanges to end users, or end datacentres. Again this basic dynamic is completely misunderstood by our ruling classes.
Vast proportion of the jobs are being given to foreign nationals here, or offshored to cheap cost base countries, just having massive datacentres does nothing for our jobs market, its just helping with the latency (limited by speed of light, therefore distance, between datacentres and their end users). If it was not for latency issues the compute capacity would just be put in the cheapest locations around the world, which is is not. Again I can list on the fingers of no fingers the number of UK senior ruling classes who understand this basic underlying fact,
Our country is being run by PPE and Classics grads, and it shows.
September 21, 2025
Your comments are undoubtedly correct, the question is why? The answer to which is motivation to ‘announce multi-billion pound investments into Starmer’s economy’. How often have we heard 2TK announce a massive new investment in this or that, as though he was the one who arranged the deal.
For 2TK, a deal, ANY deal, is worth announcing, however trivial- the China trade deal, or ENOURMOUS- the US investment ‘deal’, or damaging- the Chagos giveaway, so long as it distracts from reality.
September 22, 2025
“AI” bubbles have come and gone – neural nets, LISP machines, Expert Systems and now more TLAs.
AI is being used as a fig leaf to mask what the new data centres are actually for – real-time monitoring of data and people by the state. SOme AI technology will be involved but really the volume is in sheer data flow and processing.
September 21, 2025
There seems to be no concern expressed at the downsides of AI, for example by making many jobs redundant, increasing the ability of governments to spy on and control their populations, and pushing us towards CBDB/social credit future.
While last Saturday’s march was focussed on free speech and immigration, AI is another great danger in plain sight to our culture and way of life.
September 21, 2025
A UK cross-party committee of peers and MP’s on the Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy have recently warned that the UK’s undersea internet cable network represents a strategic vulnerability in the event of hostilities. The report criticises the inadequacy of security preparations in the light of serious attempts by the Russians (and others) to map our critical sub-sea infrastructure
Using strong language from the committee members – usually considered safe pairs of hands – The committee recommends a greater focus on “direct physical interdiction and prosecution” of suspicious vessels and crew. The Committee suggests that “an assertive approach might yield some success” – while highlighting the risks of retaliation
Many in the defence community been suggesting for months that such a robust approach is necessary to deter Russian ships in the Irish Sea, the Western Approaches, the Channel and the GIUK Gap. Suspicious Russian vessels in these areas should be boarded by the Royal Marines and the ship taken to the nearest friendly port, where the crew should be interned. The electronic equipment should be seized and the data secured.
If the ship fails to obey RN instructions, then sink it. The Russians need to learn not to challenge the Royal Navy in our waters, or they will suffer consequences. Will the war criminal Putin respond? No chance, he will whinge on, but do nothing
September 21, 2025
SG, that approach would have been good in thec60s and 70s when we had sufficient ships. The Bavy has been stripped to the bone and can no longer act as a deterrent. Sadly governments of all shades used the peace dividend after the end of the cold war to reduce defence spending in exchange for welfare spending.
September 21, 2025
@ Sakara Gold “Suspicious Russian vessels in these areas should be boarded by the Royal Marines and the ship taken to the nearest friendly port, where the crew should be interned” – perhaps, but is there any capability given the evident impossibility of apprehending and interning dinghy arrivals who would likely offer less resistance than Russian crews? And will no-one think of the human rights of those crews?
September 21, 2025
The same vulnerability exists for electricity cables lying on the seabed and pipelines likewise. It has been amply demonstrated in the Baltic with cuts to interconnectors of every type – Internet, electricity and gas. Only oil hasn’t been tampered with, perhaps because the pollution might spread. The Russians and Chinese are labelled as the culprits.
September 21, 2025
Gosh, do you think our windmills are at risk? Shall we send the RN out to defend them?
September 22, 2025
@ Lynn Atkinson
What a really stupid comment, even coming from you. YES, of course we should – they are generating 50% of our electricity at half the price of electricity generated from American LNG. And if your chum Putin wasn’t threatening them, we wouldn’t need to
September 21, 2025
SG : Yes, but whereas I understand that the internet has the ability to re-route data via other cables or even via satellite, the greater risk comes from the Russians using above and under water drones to destroy the North Sea wind turbines and undersea cabling, infrastructure I should add which is increasingly supplied by their allies, China. In fact Putin is playing the long game and waiting for his UK and EU comrades to complete the de-industrialisation of Europe before invading
September 22, 2025
If you want resiliance you distribute assets geographically and include redundancy of key elements. You get resilence to failure, attack and in properly designed systems you can upgrade, replace, maintain and grow the system without any disruption in service.
But this is counter to the wishful thinking of ignorant and cheapskate government and/or commercial operators.
If you want cheap and resilent national power you would design a low-import, distributed multi-mode system – nuclear, gas, solar and wind with storage, control and distribution operating from domestic through neighbourhood to town/city and regional levels. This is how telecommunications and data networks work.
But we have classics and law graduates pig ignorant of STEM and manufacturing running things so we will be lucky to have some intermittent power .. in some places.
September 21, 2025
I and many others believe AI will lead to the end of humanity. Some think regulation is necessary to prevent problems and Sir. Tim Berners-Lee and others advocate ‘containment’. However as an occasional Chess player I know I just cannot beat a greater Chess intelligence and so I do not believe a greater intelligence can be contained for long. So I cannot think of any practical way of saving humanity from ever developing AI in multiple places in our world.
September 21, 2025
@ Geoffrey Berg
“I and many others believe AI will lead to the end of humanity”
This is highly unlikely. The physical size of the datacentres needed for the Magnificent 7 to provide AI on their platforms are truly gargantuan. The heat that the NVidia computer chips that operate in the data centre environment is stupendous and must be removed. The size of these installations and their electricity requirements will limit how far AI can go
Despite all the major players in this field spending $trillions on AI, they have yet to produce a realistic human “thinking” AI.
Relax. The major media outlets invent these sort of “concerns” to sell copy. However, what will happen is that AI will replace humans in many jobs, such as call centres, doctors, civil servants, creative industries, software design and others
September 21, 2025
@ Geoffrey Berg – true enough. Geoffrey Hinton, a leading pioneer of AI, said the other day that AI would make a few people very rich and most people slightly worse off. In discussing his view, it was pointed out that this represents a vast improvement as he normally suggests AI will likely kill us all (he acknowledges that risk and says he cannot assess whether or not it will crystallize).
September 21, 2025
Humans have an advantage over the self-aware AI (if it’s not self aware it’s not AI), we can wield hammers.
September 22, 2025
The problem is not the AI, it is the humans who use it to abuse everyone else.
September 21, 2025
I agree completely with all that. UK performance has been pathetic compared with USA. (Though less pathetic than EU). We need to find a way to stop US (or other countries) buying up our high tech companies.
September 21, 2025
What we are seeing is dichotomy in action.
We have a PM that wants to follow through with net-0 and every other destructive WEF policy, while on the other hand he’s trying to make out that he’s the saviour of the UK, bringing in more investment and making the UK truly globalist.
It will all end in tears.

‘It is good news that the UK government welcomes US digital companies here to invest, create jobs and provide the technology all our businesses and households need to live an on line life’ – No-one disagrees with this!
The argument is how to deal with Trump slapping us with 10% tariffs and that any digital tax on USA would only be done along with other countries (as we’re not big enough to take on Trump on our own).
Also, we need to focus not just on American tech call centres, here in the UK, but how to create advanced tech of our own that rivals the Americans’ (and Chinese and others). And connected to this, how we help / encourage those in the High Tech industry here in the UK how to hold on to their companies here in the UK instead of selling off like the way the Tech giant ARM Holdings sold to Japanese under Theresa May. It’s not just about holding on for holding-on sake but also because this weakens / fragments the high tech industry here in the UK in general. And we need to focus on how government can do more to help private enterprise here like the way the US government played key role in developed of Silicon Valley and how Israeli government played key role in helping Tel Aviv to become a global leader in high tech.
Reply So what is stopping you setting up a UK tech business?
September 21, 2025
I’m not having a go at you, Sir John. Just thinking out of the box when it comes to high tech. I’ve worked in both corporate high tech and setting up my own business (digital – not high tech although related). It’s amazing the opportunities. One thing I wish I had done was learned to code at school. As there are so many opportunities to set up your own software company for peanuts – and from there to multi million pound business. I’d love to see Parl promote software coding at school and college. It would yield big results. But children need help and direction here at school and just after school. (Besides role Parl can play in helping to create UK as world’s second Silicon Valley.

I just watched a video of how HMRC intend to use AI to squeeze every last penny out of UK businesses and individuals. Yet we allow these huge multi-nationals to offshore their profit to low tax havens like Ireland. The government needs to change the law to make companies pay tax in the country where the sales took place, or reduce corporation tax to give a level playing field.
September 21, 2025
@Christine – there is something immoral about even allowing such practice. If you want to earn from a community. A community that has created infrastructure, education etc to have the wealth to purchase your output, you contributing equally to the that community in line with what the locals pay, shouldn’t be objected to. Otherwise that is just weaponising trade, to steel wealth and the ability of the community to maintain itself.
We have a thing called double taxation, were if you are paying tax in the regime you are working in, you are not also expected to pay it back at home on the same money. 2TK has just reversed this for Indian subjects working in the UK, they don’t pay or contribute in the UK although it is the UK paying them, they just pay tax on what they earn in the UK back in India.
September 21, 2025
These conglomerates have at their core something that works against the very thing they expound as the essence of their business model – free and open competition. They all set out to destroy the market place new and existing to protect themselves.
In perspective a massive software house, not having a foothold in the ‘games’ market splashes out $75billion to remove one of the most successful players. Are they saying with access to $75billion they couldn’t set-up and create another outlet. In doing so improving the market place and choice, instead of as it turns out closing the market to all new comers.
Once it was recognised that the concept of AI introduced in its modern incarnation by Open AI, again the software giants rather than open up the market and compete they swept up the only other player for around $400million. The only saving grace here is as the Chinese have shown getting into AI is quick and easy, you just ask the existing programs to write an AI program and the do. It took the around 2 weeks from being a nothing to a major player.
As we all know Markets, the Free-Market exists because of free and open competition. Its competition that advances markets. The predatory nature of these splash the cash merchants where the only aim is to block competition is in its self defeating. They haven’t opened the markets, expanded the markets they have in effect closed them down.
I don’t have any answers, other than in these instances as with most situations were one player gets to be dominate the markets stagnate, the output gets expensive for the consumer and we go nowhere.

President Trump is pushing the US digital companies to invest in the UK in the hope that their need for cheap, abundant, reliable energy will expose the UK’s energy policy for the dangerous and economically ruinous farce that it is by showing how the Emperors of Net Zero and Wind – past and present PMs, Energy Secretaries, CCC, Ofgem, NESO and Mission Control CEOs , DESNZ Permanent Secretaries, ES&NZ Chairs etc – really do not have any clothes. The energy consultant, Kathryn Porter explains our current predicament very well in the Spiked YouTube video ‘Blackouts are coming’. The PM is keen on AI, not to improve the country’s economy and well-being, but to improve his control over the population through its use (face and voice recognition, searching every available database etc.) coupled with electrification, the real reason for Net Zero. CO2, the gas of life has little if any influence on the planet’s weather and climate as seen by both the historical record of the climate and the real science of scientists such as Professors Happer & Wijngaarden.

Just a carry over from con party sell out of this country since 2010, blackstone 100 billion investment in buy to let and blackrock buying up farm land for solar pannels, water companies and electric companies.
While these companies get tax breaks and other perks, the british people are charge more taxes on farmland and buy to lets and they buy more shares of electric companies and water companies or buy the whole thing so price of the of life goes up and up like your water bills 100% in five years and your electric already over double since 2020 all back by the british gov and all PM.
As for AI which needs electric and water, as price of these go up which is just business expense to them but the means of life for you, so you use less because of the on going cost so they can use more.

All a million miles away from the reality in so many respects.
Until release of the remaining alive hostages, and the many more bodies is completed to Israel’s satisfaction, there should be no recognition.
Then charges of a barbaric nature can also be levied against Israel.
