Microsoft’s Satya Nadella says it’s time to separate AI’s real impact from the noise: true success isn’t measured in viral demos but in global GDP growth. So, is AI delivering—or are we buying into a bubble? Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s approval ratings are slipping as household costs rise.

Despatch: Will the Tories Bow to Farage? 7:17

vor 20 Tagen7:17

Dominic Cummings has spoken, and—no surprise—he’s not impressed. The Tories are “intellectually dead,” Kemi Badenoch is a “bad joke,” and Nigel Farage is more famous than the entire shadow cabinet combined. But while Badenoch’s allies insist she just needs time, time is precisely what she doesn’t have. The Conservatives are slipping, Reform is rising, and Farage is relishing the fight. With MPs getting nervous and rumours swirling of a Tory-Reform pact, could the unthinkable be on the cards? In this edition of Despatch, William Atkinson explores whether the Tories’ only way forward is a deal with their greatest rival—or if Badenoch can outmanoeuvre Farage before it’s too late.

Is Britain’s post-Brexit plan coming undone? As the US torpedoes the OECD’s global tax deal, the UK’s fiscal strategy is left in limbo—was it too quick to play by the rules? Meanwhile, Nigel Farage’s Reform UK is shaking up the political landscape, but with public regret over Brexit at an all-time high, where does that leave the country?

Despatch: Heathrow airport, an allegory of our decline 7:11

Extending an existing runway at Heathrow is a solution more economical and environmentally astute than constructing an entirely new third runway. It would result in lower carbon emissions, reduced noise pollution, and its implementation would be phased – a blueprint of pragmatic innovation.

As rents climb ever higher, you’d think the Government would aim to make renting easier. Yet the new Renters' Rights Bill threatens to do just the opposite.
