In Wales, Plaid Cymru sailed through as the anti-Reform party, at Labour’s expense. Unless lessons are learned, the Greens could do the same In three weeks, the people of Gorton and Denton will head to the polls for their byelection. And the rest of the UK will be watching. The attention given to this vote will be huge. The main talking points are the verdict it gives on Keir Starmer’s premiership, the decision to stop Andy Burnham standing, Reform UK potentially taking the seat and the Greens being the current favourites. It is both an important election in its own right, and a microcosm of the biggest political questions facing the country. Given the state of flux that politics seems to be in, you might think it would be hard to predict what is going to happen. Luckily, there is a very good indicator of what we can expect: at the end of October, there was a byelection in the Welsh parliament seat of Caerphilly – the similarities between that vote and Gorton and Denton are stark.

Alones Creative/iStock via Getty Images By Evelyn Chow and Paul Martinez Welcome to the new space race, brought to you by AI. Data centers built to deliver artificial intelligence (AI) services are springing up as fast as Wall Street can finance them. Meanwhile, these sprawling digital workhorses are inhaling electricity (putting pressure on already stretched grids) and consuming massive amounts of water for cooling. Earthly limits loom. Not so in space: Up there, data centers can feed on continuous solar power and simply radiate heat into the void; furthermore, orbital centers could allow high-performance computers to sit right next to the satellites that collect the raw information, helping reduce data-processing time. Hence Elon Musk’s decision in early February to combine SpaceX ( SPACE ), his spaceflight company, with xAI, his AI startup - a tie-up, Musk says, primarily driven by the growing pressure to put data centers in space. 1 In our view, space may well be the next AI frontier (if not the final one). Here’s a quick look at the burgeoning orbital-AI sector, including key drivers, players and investment risks. The Next Frontier Orbital AI aims to solve a few pressing structural needs, starting with the relentless demand for data-processing speed. Modern spacecraft now collect torrents of data - radar, hyperspectral, optical - but sending all that raw information back to Earth has become a significant choke point. Orbital data centers aim to relieve that pressure by co-locating data collection and computation: letting the “eyes” sit next to the “brains” allows data to be filtered, compressed and interpreted before it reaches the ground, saving precious seconds when tracking troop movements, flood lines and supply-chain disruptions. The need for speed is one driver. Easing pressure on our planet’s increasingly taxed power and water supplies is another: Power : In the U.S. alone, terrestrial data centers (not including cryptocurrency mining) consumed approxima...

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Robbins LLP reminds stockholders that a class action was filed on behalf of all investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Oracle Corporation (NYSE: ORCL) common stock between June 12, 2025 and December 16, 2025. Oracle is a technology company that provides, among other things, infrastructure for operating artificial intelligence ("AI") programs. For more information, submit a form, email attorney Aaron Dumas, Jr., or give us a call at (800) 350-6003. The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Oracle Corporation (ORCL) Misled Investors Regarding its Data Center Capabilities for AI Infrastructure According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants touted its contracts to develop data center capabilities for AI infrastructure and falsely assured investors that the Company's significant capital expenditures ("CapEx") would quickly result in accelerated revenue growth. The Company simultaneously failed to disclose that its AI infrastructure strategy would result in massive increases in CapEx without equivalent, near-term growth in revenue, and that the Company's substantially increased spending created serious risks involving Oracle's debt and credit rating, free cash flow, and ability to fund its projects, among other concerns. Plaintiff alleges a series of disclosures between September 2025 and December 2025 that caused Oracle's stock declined significantly. Finally, on December 17, 2025, Financial Times reported that Blue Owl Capital—"the primary [financial] backer for Oracle's largest data center projects in the US"—had backed out of funding a $10 billion Oracle data center intended to serve OpenAI. According to the report, Blue Owl pulled out of the deal as a result of concerns about Oracle's spending commitments and rising debt levels. On this news, the price of Oracle common stock declined $10.19 per share, or approximately 5.4%, from a close of $188.65 per share on December 16, 2025, to c...
