Gent in classes has a proper rant against Andy Burnham's Labour's decision to approve Jackdraw saying, "I think it climate vandalism, a surrender to t he fossil fuel giants" He then slams Jim Ratcliffe who closed down factories in the UK and has invested instead in drilling in the Gulf of Mexico

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

I mean… How long do we have to put up with this shit? We really do get it. Farage’s greed makes him an insane security threat. And there’s absolutely nothing altruistic or democratic or good for the country that will come from his frenzied corruption. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

We've been consistent on no new oil and gas from day one. Unlike Labour.

Won’t lower energy bills. Won’t boost energy security And creates just 27 jobs. Compared to all the benefits of investing in renewables and insulating our homes. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/zac...

NEW: ‘It’s an implicit threat’. Lord Tom Watson of Palantir writes to one of its biggest critics -Labour MP @labourlewis.bsky.social - to tell him the surveillance firm is watching him. www.thenerve.news/p/clive-lewi...

Don't want your private health records handed over to a foreign spy-tech corporation? You have a legal right to object to your health data being used in Palantir’s national database, and by law, NHS England must reply to every single submission.

I love this woman. If only her words could reach all human ears. A must watch till the end, Speaker-Vandana Shiva is an Indian scholar, environmental activist, food sovereignty advocate, ecofeminist and antiglobalization author. #WomeninLeadership IG: @maturedgirl

As former Labour minister Tom Watson joins Palantir, please read this devastating exposé by @petergeoghegan.bsky.social & @lucasamin.bsky.social of how the company, with Peter Mandelson's help, wormed its way into the UK government to sell its dire & dangerous products. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Step one: stoke the (wrong) fear Step two: tell the world they can deal with the (wrong) fear. All the while avoiding talking about the real problems with AI

Nigel Farage and his friends, allies and company.

THE REPORT THEY TRIED TO HIDE. Empty shelves. Water shortages. Food security at risk. The government cannot keep hiding the scale of the threat. It must release the report in full and act on it.

Reform claim to protect women and girls. Yet when peaceful climate protestors were violently attacked at Reform Party conference, politicans mocked the victims. Reform have a woman problem.

You might have to turn up for the results of this one, Nige.

It's time to put the brakes on data centres. Here's how: ❌ End the blanket 'critical infrastructure' designation. 💧 Highest environmental and community standards for all new data centres. 📋 Create a comprehensive national strategy.

The BBC needs 'slamming' but this goes beyond the BBC and Gibbs, the condemnation should be thrown at Ofcom who aren't doing their job and Nandy who has been missing from day 1.

How do we stop media behaviour that is legal, profitable, but undeniably evil and ruinously socially destructive — without handing politicians the power to censor? I have an idea. It may be rubbish. But hear me out. russincheshire.substack.com/p/the-hiss-o...

Anybody know a cure for the diseased western democracies Once liberal egalitarian nations falling one by one to diseased corporate capture All western democracies are heading in the same direction as the ulcerated puss seeping United States When big money buys politics Nations rot from the inside

The Government™ has made an ad about Ai Data Centres, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Zack Polanski is to deliver an urgent message to the Prime Minister. Watch on Bold Politics YouTube channel at 11am.

Someone start a party called Rebrand. The policies are basically Reform's, but without the window dressing. "We at Rebrand believe firmly in asset stripping the NHS, removing taxes on the super-rich, and destroying the environment."

This is surely curtains for Farage's political career. I don't think there's any coming back from it. I hope not, at any rate. Looks like there could be a strong basis for a criminal case as well. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

'Patriot News' reporter Chris Atkins (scatatkins.bsky.social) was just kicked out of Liz Truss' CPAC conference for asking the wrong questions. So much for free speech.

No science fiction could have prepared us for just how stupid the end of the world can be. "The environment was on the brink of collapse, and so, rather than deal with that, we burned what fuel we had left getting computers to scam each other for money."

This is a brilliant essay, which, in my view, accurately describes the predicament of the post-Boomer generations, and the vast infrastructure of lies designed to disguise it. "Degeneracy is a symptom. The disease is rent." 🧵 henryfudgeofficial.substack.com/p/degeneracy...

"The sort of flags on lampposts we can get behind! Activists from Take Back Power, a non-violent civil resistance group, took to the streets of Frinton-on-Sea in Nigel Farage’s constituency of Clacton to raise 'Tax the Rich' flags, while removing England flags and Union Jacks" via London Economic

But the trains, especially the bread trains, made everyone unemployed and miserable and poor and destroyed all other forms of transport, somehow, even though nobody wanted bread trains. It’s basically like bread trains.

💰 @grahamformaine.bsky.social PLATNER: “Wall Street’s takeover of our economy wasn’t an accident... We are living in a system operating exactly as intended… policy choices made by establishment politicians in the service of people who donated the most money to them. And it needs to end.”

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

Rather than a General Election, I think I'd favour a full investigation into Nigel Farage's finances.

Wow, so beautiful

Anne Read: "of course I do not class myself as a terrorist. I accept that I am classed as one by a govt that supports terrorist regimes" Trudi Warner: "One of the tricks that authoritarian govts play is to label opponents.. as terrorists" Both women were arrested yesterday.

You see these scenes from Belfast? That's our future if Reform, Restore, the Tories, GB News, Elon Musk and the right-wing media get their way. Except this will be on a much bigger scale. We have to decide: do we want those inciting hatred to destroy our country?

Data centre electricity demand is projected to exceed the entire power consumption of the state. Already, data centres are adding an estimated €1.6 billion to Irish households’ electricity bills, while paying around half the rate charged to ordinary consumers. This model is unsustainable.

Vote Reform for mass unemployment. If Farage and Tice win, they'll destroy a million jobs, while offering nothing in return. Spread the word: for the sake of their billionaire funders, they will throw you out of work. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This clip of Ian Dunt being a legend on LBC last night is thoroughly worth your time. [Where's Tice? Zia? Pochin? LeeAnderthal? Only Reform matey they could persuade to go on-air & defend Dear Leader was this sad sack from the London Assembly]
