I think if any political party wants a vote winning policy it’d be stamping down on data centres, calling a complete halt, bringing in the most massively stringent conditions on data purpose, energy usage, environmental and light pollution, and water use - in each and every single case.
💚🙏👇 Microsoft wants to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's final sign-off, but we need more voices. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

Wasn’t it Deloitte that helped the Abramovich tax evasion scam?
CEO of scandal-ridden Deloitte gets 45% pay rise to £7.1m, 1,360 jobs cut. CEO pay = 93 times median employee pay. Firm doesn't pay employer NIC on profits shared by partners, worth £150,000 for £1m profit shared. £899m shared. 108 govt contracts in 2026, worth £650m. Friends in high places.

I notice many english talk about the EU as if it's still 2016. The EU has moved on a lot since then. It's ditched the USofE idea...it doesn't scale well and it's moving away from bespoke deals or cherry picking.
Sylvian Kahns «L'Europe : un État qui s'ignore» argues the EU has accidentally built the "new state": mutualising sovereignty while promoting the freedom of member states. A quick 🧵on the crossroads the EU faces as it expands east and Canada says hi. TL;DR: "Atlanticism is dead. Long live the EU".

Repealing all remaining EU laws would destroy UK trade. That's why the Tories never went through with it. As every economic and business expert explained in 2016, the UK economy is wedded to EU regulations whether we are in or out. Divergence just means more paperwork for businesses

Tja, warum warum warum 🤨
Warum hieß es bei allen Demos von Bauern, Querdenkern, Impfgegnern immer "die Sorgen der Bürger ernst nehmen" - aber bei den geplanten GenZ Demos für mehr Bildung, Gerechtigkeit, Klimaschutz heißt es "Pack" und "Mob" und die Union fordert Versammlungsverbot bzw Bundeswehreinsatz?

Burnham felt he needed to get Rejoiners back on board so talked a bit about reversing Brexit. Now he‘s realised half his Labour cabinet are Lexiters he is chickening out. He‘s Starmer 2.0 with better social media packaging. Back to trying to cherry-pick the EU and failing

Farage is all over the news @lbc.co.uk complaining that Burnham doesn’t have a mandate to fix the Brexit mess. Burnham of course has already bottled it because he needs brexiters to elect him in his constituency

Whenever you read trans rights are an issue, remember where it started. Who fueled the hatred. Far right Catholic Nationalists. Evangelicals piled on, as infantry does, but it was Leonard Leo Catholics generals, w below the belt politics, who created the issue. www.theguardian.com/us-news/arti...

This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.
BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

While it’s probs a tad early to judge whether the modestly-named “Amol Rajan Connection” will be a success – given YouTube’s bias towards established platforms – @brokenbottleboy.bsky.social has here written most of the things I’ve been thinking in relation to Rajan’s post-BBC self-adoration crusade

Farage, responsible for inflicting the Brexit disaster on the country, now campaigns with the slogan '100 days to save Britain' 🤦♂️ Farage, who insisted the only way to get migration under control was by leaving the EU now insists that leaving the ECHR is the only way to get migration under control 🤦♂️
