  Love to see it! Well done to the Met, and an even bigger well done to whoever made the call to colaborate with Chainalysis, Intel 471, Microsoft, The Shadowserver Foundation and Trend Micro. That was smart!

  As a recent FinTech founder, the things that I think would make a significant difference and encourage more people to build startups: - remove tax on redundancy payments - lower 25% corp tax - 0% CT for first 3-5 years - govt SaaS service for accounts and payroll - govt ESOP scheme - restore entrepreneur tax incentives

  Putting the Labour/Blair thing to one side and responding to the fraud expansion comment, I do see UK Fintech leaders in real-time fraud detection and complex fraud detection (tax, AML, fincrime, etc). I've worked for two such firms. Complex financial crime is easier to detect than it used to be. Money launderers, organized criminals and tax dodgers have far fewer places to hide. Also, streaming real-time analytics, including model inference at scale in-memory and with distributed memory, with much-improved model deployments (types and agility to recalibrate) is powerful and increasingly democratized. That said, I'd also note that fintech favourite, crypto, is the criminal's friend and I'd hope there's a responsible crypto strategy in the bag of tricks of the next UK Govt.
