Everyone losing their sh*t over the CMA asking whether Microsoft / OpenAI might be a merger has had since 2002 to register their outrage about how UK competition law works.

The new City Minister @BimAfolami is right here: regulators must have incentives to take some risk, especially around new technologies - as @formventureshq has long argued, most recently here: . The right legislative frameworks and resources are also key

Great to see DSIT working to #fixtheregulators. This needs to extend to every frontier tech and every regulator, and become embedded as the standard operating approach, not a side-project.
NEW: Weāre revamping regulations within high-potential technologies, including: .āļø clean aviation .š¦ & delivery drones . This enables us to cut away unnecessary red tape, giving innovators the opportunity to turn ideas into marketable products to boost the economy. 1/2 š§µ

Legislation can restrict regulators' support for innovation - here the UK fertility regulator HFEA is explicitly asking for more flex in the law to allow it to do so, and continue to in future š. #fixtheregulators

The leaks thing seems less about the size of the cabinet and more about a) unprofessional politicians and b) the circulation of minutes, which was pretty far and wide amongst private offices, at least in my experience. Same with pre-release ONS data.
I do think we should slim down Cabinet but it has really lost its deliberative function, not least because the ceaseless leaks have meant you canāt actually discuss anything privately.

"Despite your premiership having no legitimacy, I was prepared to support it to extract what I wanted in a private backroom deal" is such a mood.
