It feels like there is the premise of an incredible TV show in there somewhere.

Unfortunately, at first glance, there doesn't appear to be much overlap between the cultures of Silicon Valley and Westminster, which we might call "two nations divided by a common language", or the difference between "move fast and break things" and "move slowly and break things".

Having said that, if the Dominic Cummings plan of a "British ARPA" goes ahead, that could prove to be a comedy gold mine for some good satirists. Such a TV series would only need to take some inspiration from "The IT Crowd" and the "Q" character from James Bond, and it would become an instant hit.
