Keir Starmer is running out of patience with the social media platforms, after Meta and Google’s landmark legal defeat in Los Angeles. But this ‘strongest intervention yet’ comes years too late I’m past the stage in my parenting journey where I could have any influence over my kids’ screen time. They would be much more likely to invade my privacy, grab my phone, perform some search in settings that I don’t understand, wonder out loud how it’s possible for WhatsApp to take up that many hours in a person’s day, and I would say, “What goes on between a person and their phone is a sacred and never-to-be-breached thing.” But, I still keep up with government pronouncements on the matter of phones and young people, in my quest to unlock a deeper mystery: how did Labour get so unpopular? I know why they’re unpopular with me; I could make a stab at why they’re unpopular with Reform voters and with Conservatives. What I don’t understand is how they fell foul of the squashy middle: the people who, given the choice, would always rather agree with the guys in charge; the people who’d identify as the centre; the people who determinedly don’t follow politics, don’t have strong views, and just wish it could go about its business more quietly. That army of compatriots whose impartiality makes them, let’s be honest, extremely easy to hang out with must have also turned against the government, otherwise it wouldn’t be getting such awful polling numbers . Last week marked new heights for a governing party in attracting negative attention. Explanations such as “Everyone hates politicians now”, and “They can’t seem to make their minds up, and people don’t like that” seem plausible but insufficient. Continue reading...

( AMD ) continues to enjoy the accelerating demand for its server CPU and Instinct portfolio offerings, delivering strong double-digit financial growth. But the company’s stock price is down almost by 5% since my previous coverage and showcases weak performance since the beginning of the year. Last time, I wrote about two key factors that give AMD a strategic competitive position over Nvidia ( NVDA ) beyond 2026. Going forward, the launch of the Rubin generation by Team Green provides a strong validation for AMD’s Helios system. Nvidia brought LPU accelerators and significant adjustments to its new platform, likely in an attempt to cover the solid progress in AMD’s CDNA architecture and ROCm software stack. And with this follow-up, I would like to strengthen my bullish call on AMD, which has the largest contractual agreements for AI accelerators on the market. The company also signalled for a strong supply chain position and production ramp-up, which could unlock at least 15% upside potential for the AMD stock price. Time to shine The semiconductor players are going through a harsh market environment since the beginning of the year, as the geopolitical tensions merely add fresh pressure to the already sensitive industry. The main chip stocks have been under increased scrutiny due to the AI bubble fears, spiked by the unprecedented capital investment budgets by large hyperscalers. And while the semiconductor industry is coping with a memory crunch, the Middle East tensions raise further the supply chain concerns. Data by YCharts As a result, Nvidia and AMD fell to the red territory, matching the overall weak performance of the technology sector as a whole. But looking at the financial performance, AMD delivered significant momentum in its data center AI business. The company revealed $10.3 billion in sales for the fourth quarter of 2025, which grew by 34% YoY thanks to the EPYC and Instinct sale...
