There’s no alternative version of reality in the multiverse where this is a winning move. Fill your boots Nigel you Russian stooge.

UK inflation rate has fallen. Here's why the BBC will not be reporting on it for very long. 1 BBC is not politically impartial anymore. 2 active Tory party agent shaping BBC news output. 3 BBC board appointed by Boris Johnson. 4 Conservatives headquarters still influencing BBC.🤔

Add limits to political funding and lobbying, a four day week and legalising cannabis and psyched and you’ve got me.

Data centres will put up electricity bills big time and prevent electrification of carbon intensive industries

#ukpolitics #labour are going to have an economic reset - yippee we’re going to have a wealth tax, a referendum to rejoin the EU and tax USA tech properly.

@ukerc.bsky.social are you doing any research on the effects of data centres on electricity prices? I assume that they increase demand pushing up prices

How much will massive data centre roll out add?

Richard Burgon MP

A new poll shows 89% of Labour members support a Wealth Tax.

Other polls show a massive 78% of the public back a 2% wealth tax on assets worth more than £10 Million.

The Government should listen, drop the cuts to disability benefits and bring in a Wealth Tax instead

Cancelled 3 months ago and now hardly have any cardboard recycling

You can add AI and data centres to that list! Totally a waste of space that will put up our bills.

Does it also talk about data centres competing for electricity demand and pushing up prices?

Celebrating that our “friend” is treating us slightly less shit than they are our other friends is pathetic and frankly the opposite of the strong and independent Britain we were promised after Brexit.

Vibes of loser at school who stands behind the bully glad it’s not them in the cross hairs.

I was thinking that none of those numbers made sense, but holy fuck this is insane

@carladenyer.bsky.social @adrianramsay.bsky.social @sianberry.bsky.social @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social How much will the Labour AI policy and all the data centres proposed in the UK put up electricity bills and increase fossil fuel use?

Well said George

Meanwhile all the stupid data centres will escalate electricity prices even more and destroy our ability to decarbonise a lot of industry in exchange for minimal jobs and feck all tax revenues.

Europe (+uk), need a combined tech strategy.
We cannot properly fight the USA while out lives are so entangled in USA tech. Replacing gmail, iPhones, Amazon, Netflix with home grown products is currently impossible.

We need EU tech

I think it’s time for a “Robin Hood Party”

Shame they don’t make it retrospective starting circa 2016

The trouble with voting is the Government always gets in!

Any other MEPs worth a deeper dive, maybe from U.K.?

Pecksniff: Where has all the money gone? In which Mr Pecksniff lays before his readers for their approval certain observations and speculations reflecting on the political life

Britain is poverty-stricken.

Many in full employment rely on food banks. Our waterways are poisoned. We are the sixth largest economy in the world.

Where has all the money gone? #PecksniffsDiary reports the Muckrakers' answer.

I wish there were more like you in the Labour ranks!

Massive hail storm with sun too. #Wales

Do it for the workers of Britain! Reinvest the tax receipts into paying off the U.K. debt mountain to reduce the Government’s interest payments and have more money to spend on priorities. Increase the lower tax threshold. Reverse Brexit.

Stop promoting fascists

Worse still Isle of Wight

Nope. Zilch. Nada. Only U.K. owned thing I can think of is Brexit.
