He does love a pledge, does our Sir.
Almost as much as he loves stomping them to bits whilst laughing maniacally & screaming "SUCKER!!!"
One of the things which worries me about Starmer, is his promise of unleashing a tech and data revolution ‘using AI’ across government.
The Administration of government – via the auspices of the Civil Service, has a consistently appalling track record in the roll-out and application of IT systems. “Utterly woeful” is an understatement.
The idea that Starmer thinks he is going to unleash anything like this and it suddenly be a paradigm shift of brilliance, is both fanciful and ludicrous. That said, he might change his mind on this pledge.
