Per UBS, OpenAI and Anthropic will account for 27% of Google Cloud's 2026 revenue and more than 48% of 2027's. Investors are being sold a story about diverse AI demand that is simply not true - hyperscalers spent a trillion dollars to feed money back to themselves and pretend it's real growth.
Ed ZitronWas awesome to join Bloomberg to talk about the lie of AI - everyone's buying into the mag7 believing CapEx is going towards diverse AI demand, when all it's really doing is supporting the circular cloud revenues of two unprofitable, unsustainable AI labs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHcZ...
Russia attacked Ukraine with 35 missiles, including 27 ballistic missiles, and 185 drones overnight. In Kyiv, nine people were killed and 28 more were injured. Seven districts of the capital were affected.
Fewer people are sleeping rough on London’s streets. That’s welcome progress a year on from launching my Rough Sleeping Action Plan. There’s still a way to go, but I’ll do everything in my power to keep London on a path to ending rough sleeping by 2030.
There’s another phrase for this “Trump Transaction Tax.” It’s a “corruption tax,” and it’s lining Trump’s pockets by skimming off the top of Americans’ paychecks. Want lower costs for working families? Vote to flip Congress and hold this corruption accountable. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
Some good news: Youth rough sleeping is down almost half in London. To everyone who’s helped make this possible, from the teams at City Hall to sector partners and outreach workers: thank you.

Thames Water’s service has been shoddy, expensive and wasteful. They need to stop moaning and get a grip. Not a penny of taxpayers' money should be used to bail out their shareholders.
Good thread. There’s another thing I’ve been wanting to comment on in relation to wildfires. Climate change contrarians often raise the fact that globally, wildfires don’t burn bigger areas than in the past. But how useful is that observation? 1/
Daniel SwainIn recent weeks, there has been a remarkable surge in large, intense, fast-moving, and unfortunately in many cases destructive/deadly wildfires in multiple Northern Hemisphere regions spanning a wide range of climates & ecologies, but they all share one key commonality. [Thread]
Farage has dropped to his lowest approval rating since the general election. Less than a year ago, he was polling as the most popular political leader... 😬
France calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼
I realise this is Restore Britain etc etc, but it's nonetheless pretty shocking.
Hostile measures inevitably cause harm, yet every time there is loss of life in the channel all we hear from politicians is how they are going to go further on them. It is the ultimate sunk cost fallacy. Actually ensuring people can seek asylum safely is the only way to properly reduce crossings.
We keep seeing it. More people crammed into boats so smugglers can make fewer trips. Routes become longer and more dangerous. We are even seeing more people going back to lorry routes. All the while genuine safe routes are being closed, while the government pretends that it is opening new ones.
This is tragic and all too common. Same old response from Burnham as previous PM's. Instead of focusing on why people have to use irregular routes, or the need to ensure that they can receive asylum without them, it is all about how measures need to be tougher. news.sky.com/story/three-...
Every overseas student benefits the UK - They pay money to the university - They spend money in the local economy - They return home with good feelings about the UK (soft power) - They help subsidise local students - They make the learning environment better It's a real 'win-win'

The anti-climate lobby has been all over UK media this week, pushing stories designed to counter action. There's been almost no pushback from political leaders. Governments need to use these scenes as a teaching moment, to show what climate change means &what it costs www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
The Bundeswehr is assisting French forces in fighting the wildfires in the Bordeaux area. Two of the Luftwaffe's CH-53 heavy-lift helicopters are flying in shifts to drop water over fire areas, with each helicopter able to drop 5,000L per flight.
