Summary

With today's announcement that he is resigning, we look at UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's data center legacy. Talking to Kao Data CEO Spencer Lamb, we look at the impact (or lack of) AI Growth Zones, why UK energy prices are so high, if copyright is a challenge, and more. Plus, we learn about prospective national leader Andy Burnham's data center visits, and what the data center industry should look for in a new PM.
