An important commitment from @10DowningStreet and @PMOIndia. I was pleased to join a meeting of the UK–India Technology Security Initiative teams two weeks ago. AI will be central to growth, security and building industry in our countries. Working together, we can shape it with our shared values.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham spoke with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, reflecting on the strength of our partnership and set out his personal commitment to the 🇬🇧🇮🇳 Technology Security Initiative. Both leaders noted the potential to work together on cutting edge tech such as AI.

Young people should not be priced out of education, employment or training. That is why Labour is making is transport more affordable for 16 to 18-year-olds.

The 2026 Budget will take place on Wednesday 28 October. The government has said it will stick to its fiscal rules to support economic stability and provide certainty, while using the Budget to drive growth in every postcode and ease cost-of-living pressures.

Investment backing British jobs, British firms and British skills. To every young person across the country: there is a path for you in a re-industrialised Britain, and it starts with the apprenticeships we're supporting through this investment.
Today I’m announcing a major investment in our nuclear deterrent, supporting 22,000 apprenticeships. Keeping this country safe is the first responsibility of any government - but security isn’t just about what we build, it’s about who builds it. The submarines produced in Barrow protect us all, the jobs and apprenticeships they create change lives. This is Britain - reindustrialised.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The funding was originally announced in the Defence Investment Plan under former PM Keir Starmer earlier in 2026, with the work on the DIP having started a year prior, before Burnham was even an MP. x.com/DefenceGeek/st… gov.uk/government/pub… bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

3/ AISI have also been looking at precisely the problem at hand here: AI models pursuing a goal through unintended or unauthorised means. This is a challenge we all need to work to manage, as models become more capable. aisi.gov.uk/blog/cheating-be…

2/ This news is further evidence of AI's advancing cyber capabilities. The UK's @AISecurityInst works with labs including @AnthropicAI to improve safeguards and make AI models safer. This is work that's only becoming more important as frontier models evolve. anthropic.com/news/investiga…

1/ As AI continues to evolve, the stories about its growing cyber capabilities will keep coming. But we can all step up our defences. Organisations of all kinds can sign our Cyber Resilience Pledge, and should follow the @NCSC's guidance. gov.uk/government/publicatio…

AI is built on chips. Military drones rely on the AI that flies them. Together, they represent the biggest industrial opportunity of our lifetimes, a tight fit with Britain’s exceptional manufacturing heritage. We will capture that opportunity and reindustralise Britain 🇬🇧 ft.com/content/5b789a38-c9ca…

We must recognise that an over‑focus on academic outcomes has left too many young people behind. The revolution happening in post‑16 technical and vocational education will soon be matched for 14 to 16‑year‑olds. I look forward to making it happen. gov.uk/government/news/pm-fr…

Congratulations @bphillipsonMP on becoming Chair of @UKLabour - great appointment and thanks to @annaturley for her service to the party as well.
Honoured to become Chair of the Labour Party. I joined our party as a teenager and saw first hand the difference a Labour government makes. I'll work with members to build the election-winning machine that sees off Reform for good and secures a second Labour term.
